What are you looking to use it in? If things are ok once you look at the bearings, I’d slap it back together and run it. Check clearances. If it spins free I’m not seeing the issue with giving it a go. That’s a lot of money saved and even some oil burn won’t cost you like a rebuild. I’ve gotten A LOT of use out of factory short blocks most people would insist on going entirely through.


I want my fair share
