September 2024

Picked up a couple parts engines, a 216 with cracked block from Homer52 (thanks Dave), and a seized up 235 with the thought of using the crankshaft out of it. Tearing down the 216 revealed a 0.010 under crankshaft in decent shape, and a couple rods that had chips in the babbit. Did some horse trading with Hotrod Lincoln for some rods.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
