Old school 352 short track engine teardown with couple questions

Will do, ran it because it's "break in" oil that I had laying around.  Wanted to get some heat in it before I dumped it, I'll get it swapped out soon and see if they quiet down.

Make sure to give it some time after you swap it out.  Sometimes it takes time for all the old oil to get out.

Before the 426 Hemi came to power, so to speak, in the nitro classes, old 392's were routinely patched up just as you noted since even then, say 1966 or so, the old school Hemis were getting rare in junkyards.

I have seen a few of those relics with entire block sides filled with brazing. Crazy looking stuff!
