Jerry, I had a senior moment and confused two topics. My mistake!

Stove posted pictures under the topic "Piston Installation" and that one has a bunch of pictures of parts removed from a severely rust damaged engine. It's this one: https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...lat&Number=747501&gonew=1#UNREAD

I found those pictures interesting because up until that point I had never actually seen how bad some parts are that people are actually considering reusing. It's as though some people have never heard of cylinder reboring, crankshaft regrinding and cylinder head reconditioning.

I've only restored one Stovebolt, a '36 Chevy pickup. Fully reconditioning the engine was the least of the challenges. The big challenge was replacing rusted out body parts and straightening the body without bondo. The pickup box looked like a sack full of rocks at first and I went through a few cylinders of oxygen and acetylene shrinking out all those dents!
