Where is the head and block resurfacer. Where is the boring bar, who chases a cylinder bore on mill. Needs sleeve and valve seat installed. Forget about boring oversize, let's just hone it dry, it cuts faster. We dont own a cylinder honing machine, or boring bar. It's a blue printed "race...

Check that the crankshaft pulley is tight on the crankshaft. Two piece pulley? I bought an engine once that everyone said had a wrist pin knock, tightened the crank pulley, and it went away. I had first pulled the pan to check the rod bearings and noticed the loose pulley in the process.

Originals have casting marks for mold position. As this "G 22".

"Waterglass" is another term for "liquid glass" or sodium silicate. Irontite Ceramic Motor Seal is the oldest and most known manufacturer. It works, creates a ceramic seal in the water jackets.
