Getting ready for the transplant
 

Got my rebuilt short block on the stand and getting everything cleaned up and painted. The head is at the machine shop getting cleaned and surfaced.
Hopefully I’ll have it in and running in the next week or two.

Huckster, I just finished installing a rebuilt motor in my 190A, so I suggest that you:
1. Record the mileage;
2. Do a compression check upon installation and again at 100 miles after torquing the cylinder head nuts;

3. Add 1/2 jar of Bar's Pelletized Stop Leak to the coolant;
4. Add Marvel Mystery Oil to the gasoline and motor oil as directed on the container;
5. Make sure the transmission input shaft will not spin inside of the pilot bearing;
6. Grease the clutch throwout bearing;
7. Clean & wax the firewall and underside of the hood.

Re: Getting ready for the transplant
 

I use marvel mystery oil in about every other tank of gas. I plan on doing all of that except the bar’s leak. The block has been checked and I took two heads out to be cleaned and magnafluxed, one original police head and a Winfield head. I won’t use if cracked. What is the purpose of using bar leak? I’m just asking because I’ve never used it before. I’ve always been under the impression that it was used for radiator leaks and I have heard of it clogging radiator’s.
Thank you for your information.

I use the Bars to to stop any drips / seepage from a new head gasket and coolant hose connections.
