Re: Catastrophic engine failure...
Glad to hear you have her running nicely again, with out too much pain. Should get many more years out of her.
Also, be advised. Not a huge thing, but something to be aware of.... As engine components age together and compression decreases accordingly, "sometimes", after doing only a valve job on an older engine, the new higher compression may cause some blow by on the older rings and she "may" use a some / little more oil than before. This is not uncommon, just something to be aware of. Seen it many times when I was rebuilding engines.
