Re: [Amc-list] AMC Parts from New Hampshire (196 w/bad #4 bore)

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

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...

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.
Jerijan
