I opened up my other clove leaf core today. It does have dished pistons and only had some rust in one cylinder and one valve. I was able to sand enough rust out by hand that the motor turns freely very easily, all the pistons look good.
The rocker arms all moved freely, none of the lifters are rusted nor are their bores all move freely.
How can I tell if the cylinder heads from one engine are the same as another?
Yes I am thinking about trying to make this engine run.I am hoping that a nice crosshatching of the cylinder bores will remove the small amount of pitting thats left and I will be able to use what appears to be the best of each cylinder head. At the very least I now have a 289 rotating assembly to transplant into my 259.
Do the valve stems have an umbrella seal?
Will the pistons and connecting rods be marked standard-10+ and so on?
Any suggestions on building this on the cheap would be very helpful, thanks in advance.
