Default Re: hoky fixs

Many years ago, the newly rebuilt motor in my 45B Coupe made some horrible noises on its maiden club run. Some moron in the re-builder's shop tied the oil pump up into the block with clothesline. The clothesline disintegrated and clogged the oil screen on the oil pump, so the motor starved for oil.
Ever since, I take every rebuilt motor apart and inspect it for deficiencies. I have not yet found a perfect rebuilt motor!
