79 350 overhaul

[vince1]

The second reason this engine had to come apart is because the compression rings in #6 piston were rusted tight in their grooves. I guess all that gasoline that was in the pan must have made its way down through #6 intake valve. 79's didn't have electric fuel pumps did they?

Anyway, pistons are in.

I don't know how current this sheet is that came with the cam but they recommend Delo 400, Delvac or Rotella T for break in oil. I think I'll buy a 5 gal pail of one of them and keep on using it for my flat tappet engines.
