Re: 440 ic restoration
Thanks for that. Engine had to be done. Was seized, and found out it rolled #2 rod, #-1 was very close.
He had water in base( with oil on top) and so when he checked before starting it had oil on dipstick, but was over full , it didnt run very long and seized, and that’s how I bought it.
