IMO you should at least open it up and inspect it, do a compression test etc... just my 2 pennys
Thank Neil. This helps me out with my 330 as well.A good GNCC engine you want to have somewhat high compression say 180 at least to run pump gas. You can run a higher compression than 180 & would make for a real good pulling grunt engine but you would need to use race gas. Anywhere over 210/240 compression will be surprizing how good it will pull but attention to fuel octain & ignition timming will be the rule.
Unless you know the engine real good inside, only way to be sure it will last is to pull it down & inspect it just like was already noted.
Been many championships lost because of not knowing a engine or who built it.

thanks if there is no signs of bad ware can it just be re ringed or should it be done as a complete job and also does it have different top end gaskets?A good GNCC engine you want to have somewhat high compression say 180 at least to run pump gas.
