New to me Touring car

Hello all! Taking engine to a reputable shop tomorrow. He’s going to re-babbitt and line bore the mains for me. Should correct the end play issue. Still in the rabbit hole?

Hello all. Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. Star Engines in Smithville, Ontario is going to do me a short block. It’ll be done right, and I’ll get to enjoy the car for a long time.

Hello all. Well, went further down the hole. When I took the block to the rebuilders, we had a very good conversation. After considering all the things said, a complete rebuild is in the works including the transmission. No point in going 1/2 way. Do it once and do it right.
