@@NickHemingway Oh, and that head stud with the wires and white ceramic in the center of it is a weird old type of block heater. I lived in Minnesota for a number of years, and in my junkyard dogging up there, I found all kinds of weird block heating contraptions, not only the typical frost plug types.
Seems a strange to put it in a head stud though, I thought they usually place them so they are in contact with coolant. Have you seen temp senders in head studs before?
@@NickHemingway I dont think it should be there :) ...maybe someone plugged a hole... the fitting on the side you were hammering on is where the temp sender is supposed to go.
i've seen much worse...that is totally savable...keep in mind i've mentioned before a new L-134 block is $4000...i would run a hone through it and see how bad it really is....if it is pitted more than .060 then you gonna need sleeves as you mentioned...i've seen videos of people going .080 over but at that stage i believe you large enough to press a sleeve in....the fire ring might have got caught in the valve as you pulled the head off.
I thought of a Jag V12 head puller too! Ha! We work on the same crap! 💪
That’s awesome 😂

@@guerrillaradio9953 Awesome info, thank you!
Good idea. Might as well, while it's out.
looked like a temperature sending unit that you broke....to me

Stick a Volvo B20 'Redblock' in there?
Can you use the crank and some parts from the OHV jeep engine to keep the rebuild parts cost down, basically they are a development of the WW2 engine.
@@vintagetintrader1062 Absolutely
It's a good actor weight.
Still not worth $100.
