Well its best to catch this stuff early. Before it gets pricey. I have put less than ten miles on the car. And have had my hands in a lot places now on it.

Here's your prayer since the 'recent rebuild' was done by a hack who didnt measure his work..that you can save the bores by honing get the right sized pistons and be done with it. If you open it up and she needs the full monty do some homework before diving in, it gets expensive.I got lucky, I bought a burnt chassis that's been a gift that keeps on giving..the engine is nice
