It should be pretty easy to get goin' for you. It's a good one to learn on, that's for sure.Nope, it's a 235. (Pretty much same engine though I believe.)
And thats a pretty good thing to know!
It's actually not runnin right now though, it was runnin fine. Then I let it get wet (the hood leaks) and it started missin and fouled out my plugs, put new plugs in double checked the points, new fuel filters, and it still aint running very good AT ALL. Owell...gives me somthing to do once it warms up I guess.
You don't have to worry about the dippers on a 235 - they have pressurized oil running to the rod bearings.
The 216 has little troughs in the oil pan - there's a tube in each one that supplies oil from the pump and the little dipper on the con rod scoops it up from the trough. About 8 or 10 psi oil pressure's all you get on those.
Sorry about the Chevy talk *awaiting infraction*
