I just want a stock performance, reliable 261 engine. I purchased a rebuilt engine that was run without oil pressure damaging the bearings, cam and lifters. When oil pressure was finally obtained the engine was run for about 1:45. It did not seize, just made a lot of sludge. I am sending the block out for cleaning to remove the resulting contamination and installation of new cam bearings. I will install a spare crankshaft with new bearings and new lifters that I have in hand. Just need a camshaft. Considering the Melling CCS-1 if I get any positive feedback on its performance in a 261.
