Im up in albany, NY and I need my 402 rebuilt. I thought I had a bad valve seal but when they put air to #6 cylinder to hold up the valves the air dumped into the oil pan. I just moved here and dont have a place to work on it so I have to depend on someone else. So If anyone can recommend someone speak up. I dont mind driving a bit, not to far to get it done right.
