Dave72dt Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 When you say "everything" does that mean the engine was bored with fresh pistons or the cylinder ring groove cut and then honed? Cast or moly rings? I've seen the sludge before when the cylinders have a lot of taper or when the intake valves are too loose in the guides. The spark plugs seem to have a bit of glaze on the very end of the porcelain and what appears to be greenish yellow spots on the chambers may just be reflections of the flash on the camera. As far as the bubbles, thread sealant was used on head bolts that went into the water jackets? How about bubbles in the radiator? All six cylinders the same? Head retorqued after running? Quote
Ricky Luke Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Once a month at our local NW region Chrysler club meetings back in the 70's and 80's I used to show one of those Mr Tech training and car sales records and filmstrips. I have most all of them from 1947 through 1954. Yes Mr Tech is da man!!! Dodgeb4ya, the Online Imperial Club is digitising and placing on their website as many of the MTSC films they can get. They've got quite a few, but if you have any they're missing, I'm sure they'd appreciate a loan. Cheers Rick Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 The bubbles at the side of the head is common after a rebuild depending on type and amount of sealer used. IMO a non issue. I'd drive it. Quote

squirebill Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 Any update on this situation? Quote
Young Ed Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 Any update on this situation? See the off topic section this engine is back together and traveling the country and shortly internationally. Quote
squirebill Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 A-ha.... now I get it. Thought the trip through America was being done in one of Don's cars. Understand now it is Billie's car. Did not know that it was the engine from this thread. So what was the up-shot of the discolored head? Quote
