Does anyone know of a video that shows you step by step how to rebuild a 289?

 

.....

 

They have that book at autozone.

The first thing I would do is tear it down and look at its condition. Pulling the heads off isn't to bad and would give you a chance to check everything out as well as clean it up.

 

I know I saw a DVD on Ebay

 

I just hope I can get my running first.

I have already torn apart half the dang motor. With it out, it would be very simple to do a gasket job and check the condition of everything.
