Geting back to this project after spending the summer on other P-car work.
Here's an engine from a '79 US automatic that I got for free. Got almost the whole car, actually. Gave away a bunch of parts but a lot of good stuff got tucked into the garage.
The project here is to clean and re-seal the engine so it can go into The Zombie while I rebuild the Euro S engine. They're both CIS engines and are plug-compatible. We'll see how it goes as the '79 had sat for 6 years or more. So much goop inside and crusty ocrud on the outside. Some "mechanics" had tried to stop the leaks with sealant. It was on the thermostat, cross-bridge O-ring, oil pump and oil pressure sensor. I decided to not take the heads off, or cam towers, but to re-seal the rest. It needed a water pump as the old one was frozen, or at least sticky. The project is fun and cheap as there are a lot of parts in boxes. Who'd put on a used water pump? Me!
