    oil in exhaust manifold

    since there is scarring on the block in car, should i use the spare block or the block in the car? the block thats in the car is pretty new and clean, but the spare block isnt fucked up. it shouldnt matter since my new pistons are oversized tho right? thanks for the input -pete

    Skeptical Supra guy
