    What products do you all recommend for cleaning a black top from a 1965. Do you use top dressing, or not. If so what do you recommend. The top is as original, with the fine porous texture. I used Dawn dish soap with a nylon bristle brush, which did a good job. It still has a slightly dull look...

    Piston Skirts Scuffing

    I removed the oil pan on my 327 after about 100 miles of driving on a rebuild, just to check. I can see some vertical lines on 6 of the bores. Looks like the skirts are contacting the bores because the vertical lines disappear about 1/3 the way up the stroke. Should I be worried about this? Will...
