I took one ride in John's truck after the 216 got swapped for a "recently rebuilt" 261- - - - - -and watched the oil pressure drop to dangerously low numbers, and listened to a very worrisome knock develop as it got up to running temperature. Dropping the oil pan just a few days later revealed a connecting rod bearing that was on the verge of making its way into low earth orbit! Fortunately, John was wise enough to treat my concerns seriously and avoid a disaster!
