The reality of used parts . . . . .midget,Took the block and barrels for the 'K' to T&T yesterday.
Bead blasted the corrosion off the barrels. I tried using their soda blaster to remove the corrosion from the block, but alas, no luck because there was a "goo" combined with the corrosion. I suspect the "goo" was the remains of a bead of "Hylomar", used as a sealant, at the corner of the barrel/block intersection.
I ended up using their bead blaster to remove the "goo" and corrosion.
The sealing surface of both the block and the barrels is badly corroded. The block might need to be re-machined, and/or new barrels used. Or some serious sealant will need to be utilized. You will need to look at this and judge for yourself.
Now that the parts are cleaned up, some of the barrels are a "slip fit" into the block at room temperature, because of "some" clearance. Others are tight enough to require a bit of heat. We might want to mike the sizes and use a dial bore gauge to determine the clearance/interference of the fit.
While I was blasting, I also bead blasted the corrosion off the exterior of the oil pan. All the parts were blown off with compressed air, then washed with hot water, and compressed air blasted again. Just a preliminary cleaning, but clean enough to take some measurements and do some trial fits.
Might try to post some pictures later, but you are going to have to travel beneath the "cheddar curtain" for a meaningful, personal inspection of the bits.
