My 350u blew a hole in the side while troubleshooting engine noise. Now it's time to replace the engine.
I obtained a c175 short block in the picture below that came from an engine that was originally propane and ran some later converted to gas. My engine was always gas and I intend to reuse my original top end with the bottom end in the picture.
The engine in the picture ran with no smoke a year ago. The propane head was sold and the engine sat for a year outside under a tarp with no head. It moves freely and no detectable Ridge and very clean oil on dipstick.
I need advice on:
1) will there be any problems reusing the flat top pistons with my head in terms of compression or other concerns.
2) how to clean the pistons and cylinders without pulling the pistons out if possible.
I will post separately on the head itself once I get it off.
