I just picked up 2ea 230 engines from and old guy in Southern Oregon. One engine looks complete T245 (no carb, dist etc) The other is an early 50's, I don't have the number with me. it was missing valves, cam and oil pump which the guy sent me later in immaculately clean cond. He swears they will both run. I have read a few of the posts comparing military to civilian engines. I am concerned about which distributor to use and the T245 doesn't have an oil fill tube. I do have a dipstick tube that treads in. I will be starting to work on the engines over the next month and as always interested in suggestions from others experience. Thanks
