Thanks, Bucky! This will be Dylan's first engine evaluation, analytical teardown, and rebuild. The boy's got to learn the ropes.
Thoughts: gently lube cylinders after blowing out any dirt, do compression test, add carburetor, hoses, water, and try to start it. Then slowly disassemble and carefully document as we go. Check everything- Bores, bearing clearances, rod side clearances, springs, valve lift, valve stem heights, just about everything. Label everything. Perform any required static balancing. Determine necessary machine work (with rotational balancing likely). Get back from machinist and go over it thoroughly. Button it up and get it running. Then it's off to Appalachia to meet its new home.
