I am in the middle of replacing a babbit engine with a full pressure 235 from a 1954 Chevy 3/4T. I do not know the miles on this engine but from visual inspection it looks to be in good shape. Turning over the engine with the starter prior to taking it partially apart showed good oil flow at the top of the head. Is there any way to determine if the oil pump needs to be rebuilt or replaced prior to re-installing it and starting up the engine? Or due to the oil flow to the head it should be good to go as is?
Thanks,
Chevman
