While finding a good runner is preferred for the short term, if you're rebuilding it doesn't cost much to have the bore on #4 sleeved. It only starts to outweigh the cost of a new block when more than two need sleeving. Sounds like you need a complete set of oversize pistons too though! That engine must have been abused badly... -------------- Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:19:18 -0400 From: "Jerijan" <jerijan@xxxxxxxxxxx> Brian, Can you see if there is a GOOD 195.6 engine (for my '63 American) in that yard?? I need a good one...the one which I'd acquired for mine had a huge gouge in #4 cylinder, four piston's lands were wasted from broken rings 'rattleing' in them and one piston simply had a hole burned thru it because of that gouge.. I'd VERY much appreciate this.. Also...I need a windshield for my '55 Packard CLipper. Two or Four door is fine as long as it comes out of a '55 or '56. Thanks a whole lot.
