Harvester,
Great picture of the engine. This gives me something to shoot for. The front mount looks just like the one I have on the 235. The engine casting numbers are G132, 3764476 which I believe translates into a 235 in^3 with a date of July 13, 1962. Is luck with me or what?
Back to the 216, I think it's odd but the end play is minimal until I reach that point where I hear the klunk, then the end play is quite perceptable. The pan is coming off this week weather permitting.
I pulled the head on the 235 and found some rust around the valves in cylinder #2. This engine has been sitting under plastic for at least 5 years now and it looks like condensation has done it's job. I'll take the engine to the machine shop to get their opinion and hopefully subsequent machining.
Thanks for the help,
Tannin
