Re: Engine Rebuild 40 110

Yesterday was a bittersweet day.
I was able to start the rebuild with a couple turns of the engine. It fired right up , holding 40 lbs of oil pressure.
Howard, thanks for the HF Hand Pump suggestion. $7 ...worked great!
After a couple of minutes, I noticed water seeping between 4 and 5 cylinders. I first thought that the head gasket was leaking, but after further investigation I discovered the block had hairline crack. Needless to say, I was bummed out.
However, the good news is it can be repaired by one of the local speed shops which I delivered this morning.
