Thanks in advance for anyones help on this topic. I recently purchased a used 292 block from a 63 ford truck. The current motor in my 64 ford f100 is still chugging along but is very worn and seeping oil from everywhere. This newer motor is believed to only have 60,000 miles on it and the compression numbers are great. I want to tear down this new motor just enough to replace all the seals. Does anyone have any suggestion for parts to replace or trouble areas to look for? I don't mind throwing a little money toward it, but i just can justify the thousands it would take for a full rebuild. The truck only get used for a couple thousand miles a year. Low end torque paramount for my application, so i'm staying largely stock. Also, it looks like the drain tubes for the rockers have been crimped. I'm assuming this was an attempt to pressurize them. Any thoughts on that method?
Thank you, Trevor
