Well.... Blown HG, Warped Head, Worn Bearings, Rusted Cylinders, Stuck and broken Rings.... What else... I think thats it so far o wait, bad erosion on the the top of block and head.
Im beginning to not like this car any more...
Well after getting the head welded and built up in some spots and then decked we decided to pull the engine...
Got it apart and the rings were so gummy that they needed to be replaced.
The bearings were almost totally shot. Quite a bit of erosion on the top of the block so I sent it in to get welded up and decked and my machinist cold cleaned the block and then honed it too, well what do we find? Very bad rust pits in the 2 center cylinders my machinist recommended that we have it bored. Well I really dont know what to do, Ive already got the new rings so Ill have to try and return them for some over sized rings and then Ill have to get pistons too. What do you guys think Im starting to REALLY get frustrated with this damned car...
