yes , a clean environment and measuring equipment is key to building a good solid engine. maybe i got lucky with the used 318 i bought. i know i was sweating every minute before i hit the key LOL . the oil looked great and it spun around nicely , plus it was an old dude that just pulled it out of 67 coronet. he was very confident and open about its history.
