i have a 200 that is siezed head off so theres water in the cylinders is it worth keeping

It is if you want to build a 200 and the rust isn't penetrated more than the machinist can safely cut out...

If you have no need to build one then toss it. There are thousands still out there for sale, and many times for free, that aren't froze up...

martin66,

Where you located?

If you don't want it, and your close, I'll take it off your hands

8) martin, i say tear it down and check it over before you toss the motor. i think the small six can easily be bored .040 with no issues. as for the rust, that is usually going to be surface rust unless the motor has been apart for more than 30 years.

There are still components that are salvageable even if the block is trashed. Keep the caps, crank, cam, all externals. Strip it down and see what can be done with the block.

Don't give up just yet; I have seen stuck engines freed up and run decently without even tearing them down.
