Tom, It appears that OlHenry has finally seen his "rebuilder" for what he is, a "hack". Most of us knew this a long time ago. Just because a guy has been "rebuilding" engines for decades does not mean he has the necessary talents to do so correctly.
I would not be surprised if a new block, etc. will be required in this instance. I simply can't imagine there's much remaining to work with on this one.
