Since there are bent push rods and other issues as well as the clips, the engine needs to be pulled. There will probably be metal particles piled up in in places in the oil galleries.
It needs to be completly disassembled, cleaned, measured and inspected.

Do you have any paperwork on the rebuild or the shop name?
Well the engine, I was told, was built approx.. 10 years ago and sat for a while. I am trying to track down the original owner who had the engine rebuilt. I am only guessing that it was run more recently with bad gas causing the valves to stick. Probably causing 2 pushrods to bend. I cleaned the heads up and they now appear to be okay. I am working with Rustbucket to get good running 305 to replace it. I plan to take the block to a machine shop and have the one cylinder repaired (see photo with the grooves cut by the piston wrist pin). Hopefully I will then have a working spare engine.

Thanks again for all of your responses and great advice!
Ken

Greetings kcchampagne!

From what I've seen and read about in your thread, there are some people out there who should not be allowed to possess a wrench, much less be allowed to work on or rebuild engines of any kind!
