Might be a good idea to tell your dad to get the bearings on the vacuum pump looked at. We lost one in Mexico last year with
less km's on it because the front bearing in the vacuum pump blew up. The balls made it into the gear drive in the front case and nocked the front right off the camshaft. To bad it was a good old work truck. We switched it over to an old 360 gas motor and are
going broke putting gas in it. Suerte.

I'll pass on the advice. He is pulling the engine out anyhow to use as a generator for his shop. Although the engine is a gem, the dodge body was falling apart from day one.
