I have a beautiful '29 block that was given to me..modern valves,pressed valve seats intake and exhaust,fresh pistons rings clean bores..hell,they even gyptol'ed the crankcase..with a bad center main cap,tinning failure.I've got a few center caps,might be able to fit one..but if the rest of the babbit was poured with the same shoddy workmanship I might be wasting my time.
