you are aware that cylinder and pistons have a clearance spec ? also,no surface defects should be present on either area,yes ? notice we haven't touched on the valve train quite yet ?

spin it with an impact wrench ?

pop heads off ?


perhaps a better move would be to see if it actually spins over,with the plugs out - we'll skip the impact gun for this and substitute a breaker bar instead....turn it over a few times and see what happens


"step up" is claiming the motor's free:
"The 6 that is in the boat turns but has sat for many years so a total rebuild is a must. Ty for the info "


overhaul on that motor is going to be cheap - the "hang ons are the $ exhaust manifold,carb,electrical - I would count in as all hangon parts needing replacement...



are you not the same gentleman that was attempting to rebuild a 24 topaz a few years ago ?

I prefer a 1/2 ratchet for the first turns.
Said she turns.
Never owned a Topaz.

Not everyone has an open checkbook.

Is hangon a word in Jersey?

Put a brick on the gas pedal of Snowman`s 68 350 skylark with the wheel locked over.
Had one of the worst rod knocks I have ever heard.
Took 20 minnows to throw a rod.

Head bolt torque spec and pattern is 7th grade.

I am not an aerospace machinist and neither are you.

How do you file your rings?
