Hi Redmud,

Yes, I've seen a lot of those old mechanics do that; like Mark said, they were trying to seat an oil burner by abnormally "wearing" the rings and cylinders. Sure don't know if I could ever do that, but maybe it worked???? Dunno.

One thing those old guys taught me, that I immediately got in the habit of doing, is that you don't have to pull the intake manifold and all that associated paraphernalia to pull a head; she'll come right down outta there while leaving everything else in place.

And also on a rebuild, by keeping your wits about you and counting turns & always mindful of camshaft position, you don't have to adjust those hydraulic lifters while the engine is running.

Likewise, you don’t have to pull the hood to swap engines; they will come outta there without all that extra work.

Another one is pulling the engine instead of the drive train to swap a clutch on a 4x4; it’s so much faster.

Old iron, aint it great? Glad I don’t HAVE to do it anymore, though. :>)
