Ok all stripped down, block is back on the shipping crate ready to go to the machine shop. Just waiting for Clay to get back and send me some parts.. Like freaking forged rods. The motor was suppose to have forged rods but they ended up PMR's
All the bearings wear trashed. Connecting rods. and crank.
Main caps
Pistons. all looked like this.
Man that crank is heavy

maybe too much advance on the valve timing, which would explain the valve mark in the crown of that slug, and maybe that pushed funny on it causing an uneven load on the shell.
Or maybe it wasn't oiled up as it was put back together, and then wasn't run in properly, which caused the scoring :P

both valves on that cylinder were sticking in the valve stems. So Im happy with the prognosis regarding the valve mark and the bent pushrod. The nut that holds the oil pickup tube was sitting on the bottom of the pan and then there is the markings on all the bearings. My opinion is it just wasnt done right.

motor still at the machine shop. Waiting for new pistons (.010 oversize) and bearings from Clay. Block needs boring. Valve guides need replacing (K lines wont stick). .020 under on the crank and 0.10 on the big end. Clay is also getting the bowl machined on the pistons for me. (thx m8).
Starting painting the stick on bits.
put in a mount on the sump for my oil temp sender. Block will be Ford light blue.

It kind of adds up to a new engine replaced under warrantee because the oil ran low, doesn't it look that way?
And rather than redo it all, it was halfwayed and passed on...I reckon whoever was the supervisor at the reman shop failed to note an employee falling asleep
-Like they were getting revenge on the consumer or something...
I have no sympathy for people who don't care about quality

The only down side to building big HP is you have to upgrade the trans and it costs big. Got my Xmass present from John Woods
The heads should be ready, just waiting on the pistons to arrive.
