Hello listers,
I'm back on the road again after an agonizing two month wait for my
engine rebuild after I blew the motor going to a car show. I gutted the
entire block and put in everything new. I know what I've got!
Currently, I'm in the break-in mode and I've started using 15w50 Mobil
synthetic after about 1000 miles of 30w break-in oil. My oil pressure is
75lbs at cruising and 35lbs at idle.
I also found a way to repair my odometer. After removing my speedo I
noticed a small metal retaining clip that came tumbling out . I located
its home and put a dab of epoxy to keep it in place. I'm now counting
miles again until I reach 2000 on the new engine - then I'll let it rip
past 60mph! I don't have the time to tell how much new stuff I put into
the block but the cost including labor is well over $3000.
