Bought a "USED ENGINE" Pray for me
We bought a used A engine today,hopefully it wont turn to crap,,,want t use as a stopgap engine while our original is getting done properly,all signs are good it is in a chassis with exhaust connected ,rigged a fuel can and a 12 volt battery ,,hadnt ran for 12 months but fired first go ,no clunks, rattles or vibrations at all,,,hope its a good sign ,not at all what we expected ,so we will take a chance ,it was a complete and driving 30 coupe imported from the U.S. that had a very amatuer resto on a good car in the 70s by an old guy,with hydraulics added ,a friend has bought it for the body for his hot rod project ,there is silastic evidence around the sump which we will remove and have a look and clean under the baffle plate but not get too involved ,our supposed good engine has had new pistons but has missing babbit problem in #4 rod along with vibration that needs attention ,fingers crossed ,,

Can I ask who is doing your engine that you removed?
