You thinking they might be cracked junk?
I observed a couple things about this motor and the van that was in. one is that it had a blown passenger side motor mount that happens to be right under the AC and alternator and is somewhat difficult to get to the bolt because you have to go through the front or underneath which rules out a lot of home mechanics fixing it themselves. I had yook the core support/grill off and all was accessible....And 2 the engine was covered in acorns.. which brings me back to the motor mount and it's sitting for a long time that I wrote and got up in there and made a home out of it.
Fingers crossed, they looked good on the chambers and the flat face truck ex valves were grey and uniform. If bot....thats $142 bucks 'donated' to the greedy yard.
Thats the gamble in this game. Lol
