well im thinking about rebuilding it
but could there be something simple wrong with this old motor.
my dad claims theres no compression what could be causing this bad pistons and rings?


ive been watching craigs i never see to many motors around my area. i mean i see them in trucks and cars but i dont want to drop like 800 on a whole vehicle just to pull the motor.

anyways i think i might pull this motor above or at least start on pulling it this weekend got nothing better to do.

intake i still am wondering..
but i know one of them runs for sure. its just in my blazer. and i like having that blazer its fun to drive around in up north.. we have 200 aches outside of merril. but my dad wants to rebuild a 350 or some sort of motor in his life. hes the one who bough the rebuild book. i could prolly talk him into it since its his motor and all. i dont have a engine stand tho..

here is some of the things a web site is saying i should have done at the machine shop. idk if i need all that done. idk know of a machine shop in town ill have to ask my dad.

Have your block degreased and magnafluxed. If it passes the magnaflux test, proceed to the next step knowing it to be crack free.
Have it sonic tested, this way you know if the engine block is even worth using.
Have the block checked for core shift.
Most reputable shops subscribe to a Standard of Practice of Engine Rebuilding and will check out the vitals of your engine block using these Standards.
Have your cylinder walls checked out for roundness, this will prolong the life of your piston rings and life of your engine.
Have your machinists put a fresh hone on your cylinder walls, unless you plan on doing this step yourself.
If over-boring an engine, try to use a "Honing-Plate" if at all possible
Don't Forget to have new cam bearings and freeze plugs installed, for most guys its alot easier having the shop install these
