    The tops of the pistons are relatively clean except for some carbon I saw around the edges of a couple of them, the block still shows traces of the head gasket in a couple places. The oil also looks fresh, these tell me someone did an overhaul with the engine still in the vehicle or just a head replacement and was checking to see if he had the oil galleys cleaned out before installing the head. It is not a bad practice if you are only doing an overhaul or a head replacement and not a complete re-build.
    When I do a re-build of an engine, I pressure flush all oil passages and water jackets after the block is machined before assembling anything into it to make doubly sure there are no trapped particles left over from vatting and machining.

    Always a good thing to prime a fresh rebuild. I had a car come in with a fresh rebuild by the customer. It ran less than 5 minutes and locked up. When I checked it out no oil was coming up to the rocker arms, filter was dry. I pulled the distributor and he forgot to put in the pump drive rod. What a mess. The crank and bearings were the nicest blue. When I questioned him he did not know what I was talking about. He had it towed back home and called the machine shop that built it.

    I thought this was a vanity shot dispenser.
