I really want to get this motor in my truck, but the L-6 is an entirely different animal to me. I was thinking about just replacing the gaskets and seals in it and giving it a fresh coat of paint. I don't have the $$$ for a shop rebuild, but have just acquired some machine tools to check all the tolerances, etc. What do you all think.
I will probably want to pick your brains with more questions about this one later. Thanks...Tom. | | |

If you open it up you will figure that you have to rebuild, even if you can't afford it. Be sure to prime the oil pump and run it like a new engine until the rings seat.

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
