I'd wire wheel it all clean, apply your favorite rust converter, then bedline over it. Allow to cure fully, then put your carpet down over it. Voila, now you have a floor that will

I have had an engine start and run with a 1/2" wide gap burnt through the head gasket between two cylinders... two cylinders which are opposing, so one is on intake when the other is on power and one is on exhaust while the other is on compression. (3 and 4 in an I6.) It still had 30psi compression on those cylinders, and above 3000rpm it was compressing fast enough that it ran fairly smoothly since they would still build enough pressure to fire properly before it all leaked out the hole. You don't realize how much you can get away with till you do it. I don't think I would recommend this, especially with alloy parts that erode faster, but it was pretty eye opening. lovely compression does make starting harder, though.

Seat Safety Switch posted:That still made compression? So did one of my engines with a half inch wide gap burned through the head gasket between two bores, so I'm not too surprised. I mean, you had to get it above 3000rpm before those cylinders would do anything resembling firing, but it did work. It made 30psi compression still on those cylinders at cranking speed  Why do the Imp engines sludge up the water jacket at that point, just poor flow?
