So BIG thumbs up!!👍👍 Great work! I would really like to see the repaired and finished parts before and after assembly

By the look of the (New) engine it's been over heated the water jackets are full of red oxide rust ..and Burnt to a Crisp antifreeze looks like crystal rocks..I like the fact you removed the oil pump like you did..I do it the same way it's a lot easier..thanks for sharing the video

I just tore down a flooded 13b. As in there was water in it and siezed. There are a few small chatter marks away from the compression side. Going to clean and inspect rotors tomorrow.
