Default A couple of 59a Engine Queries rebuild.

Machinist is almost there for 59a short block completion.

1: The clearance fuel pump push rod to bush is noted at 20 thou and he is wanting a 5 thou, ie replace the bush. Is this a big deal?

2: Oil pan freeze plugs 4 pcs, new ones to be fitted. Just to tap them in with nil sealer? Or freeze down for easy fit and sealer to use?

3:Valves, Is there a limit heel area of valve stem can be ground before hardning at this area is compromised?

Appreciate all advice. This oneis almost ready for home time to my place
Hanging out to get this one completed.
