Enine rebuild question!
If a motor needs to be rebuilt would you benifit from going .030 over as opposed to honing or .010 over. I realize if you may want to rebuild your motor more than once you may not want to do this but how often is the same motor rebuilt? Or should 8 sleeves be dropped in to have it at oem specs?

Go the maximum that it takes to "clean up" the bores. If it only takes .010" to get the taper or any scoring out, then go that way.
Thick cylinder walls are happy cylinder walls.
Sleeving is the way I go with all of my stuff though.
You're not going to add any power by "punching out" your block a mere .030". You'll add six cubic inches. YEE HAW!

Okay guys the truck we are refiguring to I'd a buds that he got from his grand paw after a few years of abuse. The end result we found the engine was dusted and 6 cyl needed .020 over and 2 went .080 over then sleeved back down to .020.

We are about to start re assembling it and was wondering how much sealant should be used on the oil pan, front cover, rear cover, and plenums? The machine shop gave us some black sealant but I told him to go buy the grey from ford. It was 4.-- ounces and she said it would do the whole engine so I need to know how big a bead to run and if certain areas need more or less. Thanks!

Another question, is there a proper way to make the tie in where the front cover meets the block? The sealant ran out the end where the pan would mate up at but I'm guessing I need to trim that down flush before installing the pan. Maybe even put a lil bead across that seam?

Kinda figured that. I got home late and wasn't able to post this earlier. I saw your video and knew you hadn't got that far yet.
