Speaking of timing and octane does anyone know of a good reference manual
that is geared specifically to the 235 L-6 besides a shop manual. I am
looking for something similar to Dave Vizard's "Rebuilding the Chevy
Small Block" or Victor Page's "Chevy Six".
I will also be rebuilding the 350 in my other truck. It has developed a
bearing noise(?) at 3250rpm and the compression is low. Any suggestions
on what I should watch for such as hardened valve seats and guides; the
engine is a 1971 vintage. The engine and truck will be used as a daily
driver with lots of forays into the mountains with a camper. TIA.
