428 block
I finally went to Seattle and picked up the 1967 YH/428. I cleaned what I could of the rust with a scotch-bright pad and ran a 20 gauge shotgun brush through the oil passages with brake cleaner. I sprayed the whole thing with wd-40 then wiped out the cylinders and used Castrol rear gear oil on the cylinders. I tried to roughly measure the bore on the cylinders and it looks like 4.150. Looks better than the picture. It's gonna be awhile before I can get it to the machine shop. Might be a dumb question but who carries engine block bags? Are they easy to come by? I can't seem to find any.

all you need a a green trash bag...however, I would just coat everything with oil and let it sit in a dry place.

Yes I thought about Hefty lawn bags but isn't there someplace to get the thicker bags like you get from the machine shop?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
