Ok guys I'm knee deep in this rebuild.
With only 90k on this engine the block only needs a light honing, and I'll install new cam bearings.
However the coolant passages have a lot of junk and rust in them.
I would like to have it vatted but I read on here don't mess with the freeze plugs if you can get away with it.
If it's going to eat out the freeze plugs I also read on here they are a pain to deal with and need special tools to correctly install new ones.
Maybe my local IH shop can install them after getting the block vatted.
Suggestions?
