Ford SOHC V8 Engine Failure pictures by jamesayton - Photobucket

Ok, here are the pictures. Everything looks fine except for the one rod that you guys say looks broken in the first picture. I several more shots of this particular rod from a couple of different angles. There is definitely an accumulation of metal specks there more than anywhere else I have found in the engine. Timing chain guards look good and camshafts look good.



What do you guys think? What should I do now? Pull the caps on those two rods there that appear to lead to where the problem is coming from?
