At best your 216 stuff is going to be over 60 years old, their even older than the 235 your trying to repair and probably in worst shape, and its doubtful any of those pieces are even reusable without needing some sort of reconditioning if they haven't already been used up in their 60 years of service. Do yourself a favor and fix the parts you have that you know fit your engine and you can sleep better at night. Unfortunately, thats what happens when you start fooling with old engines, there is no cheap fix when using old parts.


We cannot solve our problems today using the same thinking we used when we created them!
