I have a Morris 1622 engine that I have had running on a pallet 

Ideally take it to the engine shop get them to do a clean and check for cracks, and once it's clean and the valves removed the seat can be checked.

So these don't have seats originally but with different keepers it's had valve work before. On the pic of #4 combustion chamber between the valve and spark there's a line of rust dust that is possibly the valve seat moving but I can be wrong. If it is it's not much for a shop to cut/fit a larger seat.

Block you can clean yourself but best results need to remove core plugs and water pump, and if was seized there maybe something else damaged that you have to disassemble the rest of the engine to find 

Nice car, but that engine needs a lot of work, #4 cylinder is a different generation valve spring and keepers and probably valves, there looks like one of the valve seats looks like it is possibly moving, and lastly there's probably more coolant flow in a dry drag racing engine, I'd hate to see how blocked the radiator is.

Cheep as auto is slipping in reverse

they lost the forward camera

 

Still watching the rear camera after the caution not really Knowing what was happening, and he kept passing everyone like they were back markers. And find out later he went 18th - 1st. If he can accomplish the same on a turn left only race that would be legendary 

Here is the last work I did on this Last year before the garage wiring decided to quit power to the outlets not the lights tho. Have not fixed

Super keen on a leaf conversion on something like this;

Have I got a deal for you 

Morris project ,rego on hold, I maybe able to source a Kia Nero motor for you also 

You can buy a parts vehicle out of Japan, still quite cheep at present 

I've wanted to import a compagno for some time as they are interesting and Toyota likes to forget about the other brands made some better vehicles before 1966.

Daihatsu used that engine during the 70s in rebadged publicas  and corollas

Inside 

So I'm stopping on the front of the guard as I have to assemble vehicle to see how the bumper sits over it to finish it up (have also thought of changing to a spare bluebird bumper)

So rust treatment then flip 

I seen a mid 50s Cadillac limo with rough black paint sitting at a gravel stop in Taheke, Northland on Sunday

If anyone here knows Taheke, it's a weird thing to see 

But since I was in a rush, no pic
