I have a short block sitting here with the SAME EXACT damage on #5. Judging by the dowel there, that's either #1 or #8 though on yours. My cylinder head is completely reusable though....a few small nicks, but no other damage.

It also happens to be the third one I've seen that looks just like that. I wonder what is in the intake tract of these trucks that is falling out and causing that damage.....

So we're down to "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

I think this is a good idea... I'm in.

A drunk driver hit my stinger last summer...





But he regretted it.

I thought I had some pictures of the rod/main bearings but I don't. They were into the brass

I thought Cale won the carnage contest years ago when he touched 101# of boost at the track?

Compressor wheel on a still-fully-assembled and presumably dusted motor sitting in the corner of our shop. Looks like it lived a hard life from outward appearances.

F350-6 Chris, That almost looks like someone took some spare parts and threw it in an engine bay. Would love to have seen that go!
