Shaking & shuddering '66 MEL 462 (but not mine)

It looks and sounds as if there's a big problem with this MEL 462. Look at that motor shudder and shake. :shock: Mine did this too - it had a scuffed piston. It needed a rebore as part of a complete rebuild.

Sounds like a miss on at least one piston.
