CALLING ENGINE GUYS/GALS

I'm with taking it in for a proper rebuild. I see too oversights in the "cleaning" and other general details that make me suspicious of what else is lurking in there. I know when the person I take stuff to cleans blocks and heads, they probably look better than they did when they were in the factory. Bake cleaning and steel shot blasting.

70% is all I need to see. Either take on the project yourself or find a reputable shop (I wish you luck) and get back to square one. IMO trying to fire this off is a waste of time and if you think that leakdown is a problem imagine a major clearance issue with the Crankshaft and really making a mess.....

On the bright side you have the numbers matching motor to the car which is a big deal to some....
