Engine work needed in Minnesota
I tried to perform a leakdown test on my Lincoln 32valve engine and wasn't happy with the out come. Upon further inspection (removed the intake) I found the build up on the secondary valves had reached critical mass and was starting to break off and enter the valve seats.( I don't think grampa ever got on the throttle) This will require me to tear into this engine deeply (way more than I planed) so I've decided to do the right thing and have it gone through and freshened up and a couple of small upgrades (fixes) done also. Who in Minnesota does work on these monsters and can I trust the guy to do a good job. Just need the block checked out and the heads gone through.
This is where it gets spendy,
Patrick
