Grant warned:
"You are coming dangerously close to being caught in the "might as
well syndrome". I've found once I start investing money and labor in internal
engine parts it's hard to stop or do half a job. I either just run it or
rebuild it all."
He has, of course, put his finger on the nub of the problem. I
started this project intending only to clean and paint, then run the 235.
Unfortunately, the more I saw, the less I liked, I have small doubt that had
I "just run it", I would have "just towed it" also. The rub is where to stop.
With any luck, the bottom end will look solid and I will be able to
reassemble the motor with a glad heart.
