Todd,
That would be just for the rust in your cylinder walls.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Todd,
Couldn't see oil filter adapter in the pics. Is the by pass plugged so everything has to go through the filter? IF not, I would highly suggest that for better filtration path. Looks like the dampers were being used as hole saws into whatever spacers were being used. Hardened locators are better solutions for sure. Might be worthwhile for you to measure the existing clearance on the gnawed up bearings so you can log what is too much for the weight lube you might be running. Are the piston skirts all chewed up as well? Wishing you the best of luck on the rebuild. Regards to you and Autumn, HB2 Dissident Hombre |

Yes rust in cylinders and on valves and seats is from fuel.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Todd, the VPC11 and C12 fuels will leave a little film of rust. Some light oil and a Scotch Brite pad and you'll be fine. I fog mine with Marvel Mystery Oil at the end of the season.
For valve springs, I'd highly recommend the PAC 1409X and matching their retainers. They were designed for this application. Controlling the lifter is critical with these stub nosed cams. https://www.racingsprings.com/index..../category/358/ A good high zinc oil is a must for long lobe life. Valvoline VR1 or Red Line are good oils https://www.redlineoil.com/20wt-race-oil-5w20 You'll be back in business in no time.

Hows that #4 cap fit into the register? You probably should wet mag the crank.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Worked on cleaning some stuff today, chasing bolt holes and getting the heads cleaned and ready for a valve job and reassembly. I think we figured out the spring stuff needed. Gotta get a parts list started.
