[T3] Engine rebuild Qs


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.
