tibZ Posted October 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2008 Moved the engine to the basement this weekend to start the refresh and find out why I have a sticky valve in cyl. #3. I have all winter to play with it so I'm in no hurry. Not very pretty now but hope to have a brand new looking/running engine by next spring when I can work on the bodywork when it warms up. Winters suck.I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanman Posted October 27, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 27, 2008 Well, it doesn't look factory fresh but, it doesn't show any damage from oil, coolant or exhaust leaks either:)If you are going to rebuild the engine, make sure you do everything. It is not that much more expensive to do a complete tear down and bearing replacement etc. and you will then be confidant in having a fresh engine.Plus you can get the block cleaned and repainted to brighten it up:bulb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibZ Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted October 27, 2008 yeah, the PO says it ran excellent 5 years ago. before that it was last run in 1984. 108000 original miles. Inspection after teardown will determine the level of rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
