Default Tune-up and Brakes

We have a customer, Jan Stacey who had his C8 towed in for a tune-up and brakes. It is an older restoration and hasn't ran in years. Jan and his son in law tried to get it running but were unsuccessful. As it turns out it was a futile endeavor. Bob brought it in the garage and started to check it out. A compression test showed the readings all over the map and a bore scope revealed rusty cylinders. Jerk the engine and tear it down. This 235 was original inside which is a real bonus, but with stuck valves, pitted cylinders and worn out camshaft it needs a rebuild.
