Hi john
Bores all good crankground 30 over, parts ordered from over here, block flushed, will change rings. a bitch of a job gettin engine out had to pull the whole front end off. New radiator being built recored here.I have fitted propane to the truck and had to move a lot of that, Took two days to get out, The toughest part was the bolts inside the fender holding the front on,Goin on Vacation on saturday for a week so will start the rebuild then, If the parts all get here.
Cheers for now,
John
