Do you know what caused the damage in the first place?

 

Good morning Washington friends!

Your truck is coming along real nice!

If your going to scrap it you should do it soon the price is dropping on scrap metal. I just did some clean up around my place and took a few item to the scrap yard, they take anything metal. I didn't get payed for the stuff I took, small stuff but they took it. It would have cost me at the garbage transfer station.

Hope everyone has a good day!
Cheers!!

 

AFAIK its a minimum of 500 lbs to get paid for scrap metal or at least close to it.

 

Dunno how the damage got there. We got the engine free from a neighbor before he was "removed" from his house. It was in his yard on a stand, upside down for many years, the valve covers were rusting out from water. But the crank turned smooth and the cylinder walls were smooth. I don't remember seeing the hole before taking it there, but I wasn't looking for it. I didn't notice till I had it back on the stand in the garage at home.
