    Yes. I have had good luck with it. Last year I used it on some old school aluminum slot wheels that were pitted filled the pits with bondo primed and painted with the pewter they turned out great. they have survived a year on a 4x4. Bc

    BBQ? hell a good 350 for your trouble. I agree with 58 delivery that crank may need ground. Check it closely. Barry

    Bob. I hate to say I am thinking about this to much. I am going to the hills tomorrow to get huckleberries and heat up some rifles with two 14 year old boys. Somehow I think you got screwed by the shop that did the work. Instead of getting ready I am thinking about your 350. This engine should...

    A little more, Most of the old stuff has a lot of cylinder wear because of to much gas washing the rings, carbs are bad. the fuel injected stuff is usually worn out entirely. So I polish a lot of old cranks , and grind a lot of new stuff. I usually refresh a lot of old stuff because of oil...

    My experience with 350 chevys is that the only time they really warp is when they get very hot or hammer the mains to death. Then you are pounding out the pistons with a 2# hammer. For the first part of this thread I assumed the crank had been ground and this was the source of his problem. When...

    Hi Bob. Like 64ss409 said this is really not a problem you see.New cam, bearings good to go. I am bugged by the fact they align honed a block that the crank was good enough for a polishing. Why? I wish I could see this engine, I have dissected thousands of failures since I was 12. And this is...

    Sorry its so late Bob I needed a break from my projects and took the fam into the Selkirk mts for some Huckleberry scouting. Actually found a couple of gallons its a bit early but it was fun.
