We ripped apart our "new" 1275 only to find an inch and a half of water in
cylinder 1!!! pistons are ciezed up, and when we removed the oil pan... RUST
CITY!!! everything including the crank shaft is completely rusted.. sent out
to local auto-machine shop to be chemically cleaned and sand blasted

build it would be much appreciated!! please include horsepower!!!
