About the only equipment you need is an engine hoist and maybe a leveler. You can buy both for under $200. That is a lot less than the labor is going to be to R&R the engine. Then you could sell the hoist and leveler when you are done. Just a thought.

yeah my Neighbor just offered me an engine crane
And he said we could put the motor in his truck to bring it to the shop that’s going to do the rebuild I guess that’s an idea

When you take a breather off the passenger valve cover it it hoves smoke,
no loss of power
QUOTE=RetroRanger;1080980]What do you mean by blow by?
Blue smoke out the tailpipes?
Oil residue in the pvc system?
Something else?[/QUOTE]
