I've actually had decent luck. That might be regional though. Theory: If you live in areas where you park your car for a long winter, the rubbers deteriorate and are the usual cause of cylinder failu

Agreed, there is a lot of mysticism and hocus pocus about building engines, but some of it is based in fact. Breaking in the cam is important. The important mating surfaces that you are bedding is th

The oil pressure relief valve is used for the life of the engine, not just when new. If you can imagine, the oil pump runs off a fixed linkage to the engine guts, so it spins at a rate that is linear

This is not a foolproof method, but realistically it should be enough. Before honing, stuff soaking-oily rags into the bores. The oil should catch and hold most of the swarf, pull the rags out from a

Well, the fix involved is not difficult, but requires welding and painting. There are no satisfactory quick fixes that don't require bodywork. As well, it LOOKS like you could just weld up the crack

Still rebuildable. The only unique parts to any motor is really the casing, everything else is wire and brushes and stuff. Unless the casing is cracked, it's buildable with common parts. Go for it. Y
