    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    One's wife should not have to ask for tools and supplies when she is hard at work on a restoration! :)

    And you usually got the right parts and the box was not damaged and some parts missing! :)

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Wow! I can not get parts within the USA in 5 days sometimes. USPS will haul them all over the country until they figure out where they go! Some parts I never get! UPS can lose parts too! This does not happen all the time, but it does happen.

    You could hone those cylinders another .005 and still be the same bore as a 6.5L.

    The bore of a 6.2L is 3.980 inches. The bore of a 6.5L is 4.060 inches which is .080 bigger than the 6.2L. Think about that a little bit.

    Does that tag mean that it is bored .075 in each cylinder?

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Worn valve guides in heads allow exhaust to come back up between the valve and guide and prematurely "cook" the valve seals and make them brittle.
