OK listers I need a bit of advice. The 69 MGC GT I bought a few months ago
came with a spare engine. The engine currently in the car has spun a rod
bearing so I'm not driving it right now now. As an added bonus it is the
original motor :) so I want to rebuilt it to factory specs. I started tearing
down the spare yesterday. This is where the advice part comes in:
The DPO has never actually seen the motor run. I have completely
dissassembled the head and cleaned the carbon deposits. I opened the bottom
end and checked the bearings. Everything looks great except for the rust
that is prevalent in the water passages. I am going to have the head
hot-tanked. Should I have the block Tanked as well? I hate to completely
tear it apart to boil it when everything else looks fresh. BTW I plan on oing
some mods to this engine, so take that into consideration as well.
TIA,
