I read with great interest about all the different rebuilders,
remanufactures etc. I for one learned an expensive lesson and am in the
process of small claims court action concerning two enignes, one lasted
300 and one lasted 700 miles. They don't call Joe Mnondello Dr. Olds
for nothing. He has been around with the oldsmobile engine since he was
about 16 years old. I don't feel that you will go wrong in his area of
what to do with the olds engine. As far as the oil restrictors. This
is a crucial point. There is so much oil turbulence in the bottom of
that engine that if you do not restrict the flow you will have all of
your oil in the upper part of the engine at high speed and then when you
need oil on the bearings there will not be any. Walla damaged
bearings. Believe me I saw two engines go that way. Chuck Lompoc, CA
