    Instead of rebuilding the original motor and getting a valve job, just buy a new long block. It will be cheaper in the long run and you'll get a full warranty.

    For now try some stuff called Marvel Mystery Oil. You can get it at any Checkers or AZ. It would wonders for loosening up stuck lifters and helps seal rings a bit. I've used it on many old beaters and it's worked well for me..

    i use that stuff on everything!! which remind me i need more!! now i need to know where to put it.. do i throw it little at a time through the carb? or take the valves off and put is on any pivot point i can find? i will be pulling off the valve covers and making sure the the nuts and bolts are where they should be and will be getting know gaskets.
