Re: Seeking advice - rebuilt engine failed within 1,000 miles
Ended up having the heads taken off and found head gaskets that looked like they hadn't been replaced during the rebuild, along with a crack in one of the heads, and a crack in the new radiator from when it overheated. So put in a couple of new rebuilt heads, head gaskets, intake gaskets, and radiator, and drove it a little yesterday to try it out. There was quite a bit of white smoke that I'm hoping just needed to burn off, because it went away after a while.
More testing needed with the engine but so far so good. The temperature gauge on my dash suddenly no longer works, though. Strange.
