Okay, yesterday I pulled my 1958 235 out of the shop and spent the day cleaning the outside and the water jackets.
I wanted to just throw this engine in the intended truck and be done with it. It has okay compression, and I think it is driver quality. While I have it out of a vehicle, I thought I should pull the oil pan and clean out the sludge as I am going to use detergent oil. While cleaning, I found the remnant of one valve seal sitting loose so it looks like I need to investigate a little more...
I think you guys can see where this is going. I really don't want to go to the expense/time/effort of a rebuild, but don't want to stop short. What items should I check while the engine is out?
