I have a 235 out of my 59' and it is in half good shape. It could use to be boiled down and cleaned up, it cranked real easy when I first got it but when I took it apart some of the rings fell apart and there was a bunch of carbon and gunk on the tops of the pistons from sitting for so long. It supposedly ran when it was parked. So I guess my question is do I need a complete rebuild (new valves, hardened valve seats, bored, new bearings and rings, etc..) or can I use some of the old hardware? Also If I do a full rebuild how much does a machine shop generally charge for all the labor?
