Braden Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 went down to my granpas old shop today and uncovered this l20b that he pulled from a wrecked 510 wagon. the wagon was almost new with approx 3000 miles on it!!! after he pulled it it sat for quite sometime before he decided he was going to put it into a 4 door 510 that he bought. he completely stripped it down cleaned it and reassembled it only to stash it away in his paint booth for about 20 years. lucky for me!!!!! i took off the oil cap and shined a light down in and you can still see the machine marks on the cam lobes!!! the outside of the motor is pretty dusty and the valve cover has a little oxidation but with little work ill have a brand new motor just as it came out of the factory. it has a U60 head and original plugs are even still in it!!! just thought you guys might like to hear an interesting story THANKS TO MY GRANPAS NEVER ENDING PROJECTS Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've heard, and I stress heard, that L20B oil rings don't like to be left sitting and will blow oil after sitting for extended periods. Quote Link to comment
