Help on 318 purchase - Newbie mechanic questions.

I should probably mention that this is for pure learning experience ONLY.

Just want to tear it down learn what everything is called, how all the parts of the jigsaw puzzle work together, get a basic gasket, ring, and bearing kit to install, piece it back together and sell it for what I paid or donate it to a local school program.

No plans to put this in a car.

I have three very nice engines and want to understand them better by working on donner engine.


that's a cool idea but still make sure you go through the machine shops steps. because if the cylinders/crank/rods or anything else is out of whack and you do a basic rebuild on it and sell it the new owner could have problems.

or if you donate it and it gets put in a project the same problems could arise
