In other words, are there any of the components such as valves, cylinders, gearbox parts that are guaranteed to need complete replacement or are the engines "typical" and a complete teardown might show that a valve job, new rings, cylinder honing, new gaskets and seals etc. might get the job done right back to spec? I hear that the 285 is a fairly robust engine and given proper care throughout it's life, there isn't much that is terribly prone to give out or cause general grief. Anyone have any different opinions ? Thanks. Dave Stroud
