I think I would turn it over and inspect the bearings before I tore it all down. You can tell a lot about general condition. Also if all looks ok you can snug up your bearings if there are sufficient shims to do so. Good luck! Looks like a well done engine from appearances.
@@rnwagner thanks for watching and commenting! There are a few other videos in the playlist that show most of the teardown. Spoiler alert, it was the #3 piston 🙃. Just got the block back from the machine shop and hope to start reassembly soon.
Thanks for watching & commenting! It certainly is a Model A engine. The counterweights are welded on by the previous rebuilder (H&H). This is a common modification on touring engines. Model A's all had oil pumps. The pump transfers oil from the pan up to the valve galley which then feeds the cam and mains via gravity. The rods and rest of crank are oiled by a mist created when the rods sweep through the dipper tray that is snapped in to the oil pan.

This is not a model A .It is a Model B. It has a oil pump and counter weights. Model A has no oil pump oil or counter weights.

Model B also has a fuel pump.
