looks good. u should start looking for a back up engine tho, another 216, or a couple if you go that route or get a '53 or later 235, there full preassure oiling. if ya run that babbit 216 very hard, it will blow up on ya. you could rebuild the 216 using rods cut for machined bearings but u would still have a low preassure dipper engine, ( oiling system is very bad, low preassure, only makes 15 psi @ idle 30 psi max, and uses dippers on the bottoms of the rods for extra oiling ). it will be a great running engine if u take it easy.You don't know what you've got til it's gone
