my converters were cooked also

Engine overheating, poor fuel quality, to low of an octane fuel, just to name a few.

I've never noticed any over heating don't mean it never happened just never noticed it I always use bp gasoline 87 octane also the exhaust manifold was cracked on both sides wonder if that had something to do with it. The cylinder walls had a few nicks you could feel with a fingernail but I wouldn't tear it down for those little spots I got tired of messing with it and Me and a friend of mine pulled the engine out last week and I got a remanufactured and put in it
