I just started tearing into my U302. Compression and leak
down tests confirmed I need rings, and probably the valves
worked on. I have a good machine shop lined up, and am
excited about the rebuild. This is my first engine tear down. As
you can see from the photo at some point someone replaced
the heads with yellow ones. I'm not sure how much work ws
done at that point. Already I know I need a new exhaust and
intake manifold, new upper and lower radiator hoses, gaskets,
rings, and possibly valves and pistons. I know some parts are
offered on this site, but not all parts are. I was hoping some of
you could suggest good part sources, and also ones to avoid.
As an example I have seen the intake and exhaust manifold
new on ebay at a cheaper price than anyplace else, but I'm not
sure about the quality. I don't mind spending money for quality,
but like everyone else I would like to save money where I can.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
