Re: Flathead Friday. New project. Rusty Crusty Flatty. VIDEO.
Mart... I love a dragged home flathead video. It never gets old. I once had a factory relieved military block on a navy shipyard welder. I have never gotten over the fact that I gave it away because I "didn't think I'd get to it." The guys that are advising heat and plenty of it are right on in my opinion. This completely stuck engine is now a bare block with no sign of cracks. Hoping to build it 255 for the wagon.
