Since im very curious about circa 70s maintenance intervals
How often should you throw your jugs away and replace Every 100k miles? I know this is not popular here or cost effective But isn't this engine more power egg type design As in swap out the whole engine and go opposed to fix 1 thing at a time? |

You could just clean it up as good as possible, put it back into service and inspect again in the future.

Unless you are itching to spend a couple grand, just clean up the grime and run it. It wont save you any money tearing it down now vs later.

thats kind of what i figured. i dont think its major leak ir anything like that. i just wanted tk make sure. i dont want to dive in that deep now, maybe in a few years but i really wnat to just clean it up, install the new tin, runners, trottle body, plenum, seals etc etc- all newly powder coated heat parts coming from Bruce Stone! just cleaning and degreasing so that the motor will look as nice as the newly painted body! i think i probably have 2 months before paint gets done so i have some time to clean and reassemble. it is turning into " while i am at it" syndrome!
Mark, hopefully you and i both get our cars done for the next Okteenerfest! |
