Here here!
Flush it out, if it's clean from the get go, use it.
I too have never had an oil cooler, head, or rod bolt failure, and I
have rebuilt alot of engines.
Sometimes I do use new rod bolt nuts, not all the time.
I also want to know how someone can put 3-4 thousand bucks into an
engine they already have?
I just finished a rebuild of a 1275, total cost of parts was around $200
No new pistons this time but new rings, bearings, oil pump, gaskets.
the rocker shaft was fine, why mess with something that is fine?
No machine work needed but there again it's only a couple of three
hundred bucks for all that can be done to an A series head and block
including a bore. Another $200 for pistons, $150 for a cam, $150 for
"goodies" and you have about $1000 bucks for an entire fresh new engine.
I get my parts from guys on this list who sell LBC stuff.
which reminds me, I am running low on Morris green engine paint.
Paul A. has the correct stuff.
