The reason I am posting on here is to benefit from folks that have more experience and expertise than I. I did not intend to engage you in argument about what I WAS (past tense) going to do! Ok, you convinced me; Bad Plan! What would your pan be? How about reading my entire post and respond to my question about the few simple test you ambiguously refered to in your first post. In other words " What would you do if you had benifit of buying a newly rebuilt flathead still on a test stand"?
