Squirted oil into spark plug holes and oiled the valves under tappet. After letting soak for a day, turned the crank via belt and it turns. EXCEPT the tappets are not moving nor the distributer rotating. Diagnosis: Timing gear has the cogs off in a section. My question. would it make much sense in swapping out the gear and the crank gear with stuff already in stock or should I just pull the engine and replace it with the running 216 which I pulled from my 51 pickup driver? My intentions are to get this panel running and then turn it over to one of you fellow Bolters to get it back to being "road worthy". I have my "Money Pit" pretty much Done and enjoying!
