Hone it, re ring it check all the rod bearing clearances, and re assemble it. I had a 1957 Dodge 100, pickup, several years ago, the engine was stuck, rear 2 cylinders had got wet, and rusted the pistons to the cylinders. Long story short, did basically same as what you are doing, and after I put 2 new pistons and all new rings and rod bearings, it ran beautifully. Good Luck.
I helped a buddy budget build a stuck slant six in a '68 Fargo. We had to drive the pistons out, it was bad. We cleaned it up, new rings and con rod bearings and he daily drove it for years, never had a problem.
Exactly. It goes to show that it does not take much but ambition and minor skill’s to keep an engine going for a long long time. If I could find a valve grinder for these seats would be amazing.
I've owned a couple of cars with this engine, very easy to work on. easy to do rings and bearings valves will free up nice truck glad you're saving it enjoy your videos 📸
I'm almost ready to put my head gasket on my '53 Dodge Regent four door, which has the 230-6, and was built in Windsor, Ontario ... Its the Canadian 25.5" block... Looks like your Fargo is the same ... I've used brass brushes to remove the carbon... And prepped everything to the point of being ready for reassembly... So, we're kind of doing the same things... Best regards...
I'm enjoying watching this old truck come back to life (and watching the cats). As long as the cylinder walls look good I'd honed it and put in new rings. I believe that's a 217 Dodge/ Plymouth engine, correct? If so rings should be readily available.
Great project! I've never seen a Fargo truck in Europe before. One thing, should you not anneal the copper headgasket before reinstall? Keep up the good work!

I love this video! Makes me want to get my '52 Ford F1 out, and get it running again. Thanks for the inspiration!

Do a budget freshen up, I think the rings would get it running, pretty easy engine to work on, thank you for your videos, happy I found it.
Thanks for the progress, love the kitties.😁

You have it looking really good Josh, I think you should put some rings in and a light hone of the cylinders.

The cats seem to think new rings and away we go.

love this new project!
Thanks so much. It is a project that is for sure.
Just a set of rings = no need to overthink it. Don't do paralysis by analysis.
Love the shop lions!

I'd take the hone to those cylinders, slap in a new set of rings, make sure your fuel pump is in good shape and send it.
Acetone and Marvel's Mystery oil!
Get new rings, are the pistons stamped oversized? Hone the cylinders and I'm sure it's good to go.
Re-ring and a Hone.
🛻🐈⬛🐈 Hopefully it runs soon 👍
Thank you. Really hoping so myself!!
Hone the cyls, rep rings, if bngs ok take a chance. Columbus did. ( Christopher Columbus)
