Dammit you're right -- that's the smart route. The valve stems
may be rusty from sitting (like some pushrods) but if just
gunked up that's easy.

If I do all that above and find a serious problem, well it had
to come apart anyways.

Ring blowby seems to be like a new car -- while it's still
running I'll do a compression check just for the info. If it
was recently reringed I won't even do those. The block is clean
with a "REBUILT ... POWER PAK" tag on it, so this isn't (only)
wishful thinking.

Back to the future it is. If it bites me I'll drive the other
63 Rambler.
