[T3] 72 fasty update- motor rebuild qs -Fenders


Well, after some travel to Maine and VT, projects finishing up @ work,
and my poor splitty blowing a head, I will begin again to work on my 72
fasty I found. The smoking after warm up (thick white) never ceased, and
a knock is audible on cyl 3, which shuts up if you stop gas vioa
injector wire pull, me thinks a wrist pin/piston isn't happy.
We are going to yank the 30k OE motor and rebuild it. Does an FI type 3
use special pistons? Or are kobelshmidt flat tops what I need? Heads are
getting cleaned up with all new valves, probably swivel feet, new
springs, 3 angle, hand lapped valve job, new tubes and such.
 I enjoy stock, so I am not modifying oiling system, or exhaust
I am also considering NOT cracking the case at this point, as the
mileage is so low and oil pressure seems good, to be better tested with
guages at the shop.

Besides the clutch being totally replaced, any other suggestions while
she gets new p and cs, and heads rebuilt?

Also, I am in the market for front fenders, for a 72, please pmail if
you are selling...

Thanks,
Al
