Hello everyone, I'm half way through rebuilding my 73 FI engine. Its all in pieces and now the questions about what to salvage & what to replace: * Can the fan be re-rivetted or bolted onto its hub? Mine has some play so I'm not happy to just put it back on. * There was a small leak between barrel and head on #2 : there are small radial lines over about a 2" arc of the sealing surface in the head. I'm going to get the head cleaned up. My local rebuilder said if it only needs a cut of 10 thou or so, just leave it be. No need for spacers. It will result in a small increase in compression (say +0.1:1) which will be fine. Thanks. -- Matt. UK.
