Yeah, I talked to a couple of older mechanics before buying new hone and stones for this block. I used what was recommended. I was also told not to use as much oil as I normally would to lube the cylinders. Instead of dipping the pistons and rings in oil, before inserting them into the block, it was recommended to wipe the pistons and rings with an oily rag. I was also told to block some air flow thru the radiator so the engine would get hotter during break-in. Any other tips will be appreciated. Times like this remind me how much I miss my Dad and his vast knowledge of all things mechanical. Thanks all.
