Re: Fresh, original 72 350 w busted valve keeper - how bad?
Aussie thanks for the ongoing help and Jim I appreciate the good words and advice. I’ve passed along the concerns to the shop and we’ll confirm no cracks are present before going further. If the motor wasn’t original to the truck I wouldn’t sweat originality so much.
It appears to me that there’s greater than expected crud in the water passages for a motor that’s barely broken in. The coolant system components are all new and the radiator was rebuilt.
