Re: Smokey Yunick NOS 67 Z-28 MO 302
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] At this point, I'm not sue what more to do. Should I tear the motor apart and check every little thing? Maybe just a quick check and trust Smokeys expertise?? Suggestions please!! Thanks, max [/ QUOTE ] If it has been sitting for any length of time absolutely take it apart and check things. Then replace all the gaskets. Regasketing and checking internal clearances doesn't somehow "undo" Smokey's building of the engine but you can be darn sure that not checking the internals and then wiping a bearing or ruining the cam or crank would really undo Smokey's building of the engine. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain (peace of mind) by checking things now, otherwise you're going to be wondering forever if you should have done it. [/ QUOTE ] I second Steve's suggestion... It would suck big time to have had a minor problem which turns into a nightmare.

Re: Smokey Yunick NOS 67 Z-28 MO 302
Some quality time on a engine dyno before installing in a car can unmask potential problems down the road. Well worth the effort IMO.
