Reply To: Filling Rust Pits on Blocks

[Robert Coates]

I will post a picture when I get the engine back, hopefully on Wednesday. You are right about the scaler, I forgot about them, as I don’t have one in the tool inventory. This engine block is a replacement, as my original one was cracked through two cylinders (2 and 3) between the bore and the valves due likely to overheating. The head is fine, though it was repaired at some point around the water outlet.

More later. Thanks for the thoughts so far.
