Good afternoon, New to Forum. Acquired a 1954 Olds Super 88 that has been in my wife's family since it was new. Stopped running about 20 years ago. Got it running but it knocks a lot. 3 or 4 of the push rods are worn to a point instead of round. Pulled the engine. Time to start the rebuild and bring it back to life. Look forward to other members experience and advice. Thanks ahead of time.

54 Olds Super 88.

Interior had moisture

Engine is original and complete

Engine pulled.

Welcome to the site, congrats on being the new caretaker of the car. The Vintage section is a great resource for questions concerning anything on your car.

Always cool to see cars that have been in families their entire life. Good to see that you can work on it. Plenty of helpful people here. I look forward to reading more about it. Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile 👍
