Kind of does sound like bearing noise. Do you remember spinning the pulley by hand? How did it feel?

Could just be varnish, largely inert. Most conservative bet is to replace the old lines (but only if you’re in deep on a serious rebuild). Delco eh? Bold move.

That said, if your lines blew clear...

Not really my area, but I think you’re doing things backwards here. The fact you’re only getting one or two turns with the oil injector is probably because you’re fighting against system pressure.

R14 tires NLA?

Blinked and it’s time again for new rubber.
No more Michelin r14s! Can find General Altimax either.

What are you guys using now?

Should have added, weak heat is another symptom of poor flow. The temp dropping while the heater is running is normal. Think of it as another mini radiator.

With the new thermostat installed, have you re-checked the inlet/outlet temps on the radiator?

If that delta still exists, you have flow issue somewhere.

To add one note, any leftover leaves that are too long, can easily be filed while positioned in the tumbler. Also not a bad idea to harvest leaves on trips to the junkyard.

Your previous turbo attempts, you mentioned a decrease in oil pressure? This was at throttle or idle? Curious what your readings were. I assume this will solve for it?
