ill let you guys know, I have Monday off so ill take it part then. Thanks for the input.
I already bought a used one off a 50k car off ebay. will be here Friday. also ordered a few new gaskets. only one that looks good is the lower intake gaskets.
yeah. bought them too.Don't forget new o-rings on the coolant fittings. You need four of those little bastards.
Current oil is already drained out so I can't spin the motor over. And yeah I plan on doing 2 flushes before putting good oil inId crank it over to blow the water out. I think youll be fine; might be some light surface rust but I cant imagine it would have pitted the walls or accumulated enough that would damage the rings while youre cranking.
Probably gonna want to change the oil a couple times once youre all done. Id just get the cheapest oil you can and do two oil changes after just idle time.
