Josh and I starting to disassemble an extra 1965, 292 engine purchased used. Seller said the engine was from a low mileage ambulance. So far, the cylinder head is off and the cylinder walls show no signs of ridge wear. Have not looked at a the cylinder walls yet, but quick looks good so far.

Question, the 292 engines typically have a wear ridge at the top of cylinders where rings stop?

Still evaluating engine, and need to make decision on, whether to keep as whole engine or save for parts. Original plan was for it to be a parts engine, however, looks to be in good condition so far. Going to take the oil pan off tomorrow.

What do you think, could the rings still be good?
