Short block purchase

I removed all the spark plugs and oil pan drain plug, squirtted in a few ounces of the solvet in each SP hole. Then every 12 hrs or so put a socket on the crankshaft bolt a moved the crank back a forth a little, then replenish ea cylinder with solvent again.

After 48 hrs or so I put towels over each side of the engine and cranked over the engine with the starter 5 or 10 revolutions to remove the solvent from the cylinders.
Put SP and drain plug back in, filled with cheap oil and filter, drove it for 100 miles or so, did a dump and fill with good oil and filter.

This piston/combustion chamber soak, and the new improved valve cover, immediately cured my stuck piston rings and oil consumption problem completely. Today, 5+ yrs and 65k miles later with 196k miles, no oil consumption

Here is 1 of the many threads I did back then:

Did it do anything for a cylinder 8 misfire

I know this is an old post but I would not touch that engine. Compression is too high to run any type boost on it but the ring gaps are set up to run a blower or turbo? Cam is not a turbo or blower cam. Guy was confused building it that way. Terrible mix for a Suburban with 3.08 gears. The large ring gaps in a daily driver give up ring seal for zero gain. Sorry not just my opinion any engine builder would share the same thoughts.
