I took the 230 apart. The engine has been rebuilt back in the day, probably a Sears or Jasper, seeing this is a 49 Dodge & it has a 52 Dodge engine in it. The clearances on the main & rod bearings are all .002 or less, good news Bad news: 2 exhaust valves are cracked & 3 top piston rings are shattered with one piston damaged The engine was bored .060 over with a minimum of ridge at the top & bottom That's the Wayfarer awaiting it's verdict on the lift Any advice ?

I'm in Illinois, Something else to figure out I prefer an e brake on any car

Thank you Gary Time to do some research
