[T3] starting an early 62 overhaul

[Scott Taylor <scottbtaylor@earthlink.net>]

<x-flowed>Hey everyone,

I'm stripping down an early '62 engine for an overhaul and thought I'd 
post my progress so far. This is a high mileage engine that I think was 
last rebuilt about 30 years ago. I pulled the right head expecting to 
find a dropped valve or something (it had no compression in #2), but 
things don't look as bad as I thought they would:

#2 sure is oily! I'm now thinking a ring may be the culprit. It turns 
over smoothly and I haven't found any metal shavings yet. I really hope 
the heads are salvageable -- these '62 heads with the 90¡ intake ports 
are pretty scarce. I'm going to let a professional take it from here. 
I'll let you know what he finds.
