When I break it, I break it!!

[frederick_76]

Pulled the old motor out today and started to tear it down when I found this....

Lost the exhaust valve on cylinder 2.(most of it came out the tail pipe).

Get yourself some stop leak. It should be fine ;)

 

[67cudafb]

Wow looks like it cracked the cylinder. I think you have new boat anchor.ops:

 

[4spdcuda66]

[plum crazy dart]

can you say coffee table?

 

[74DartSwinger360]

can you say coffee table?

Yes?

 

[CUDACOX]

Wow.. New block time!

 

[1970Duster]

Time to sleeve the block. Or find a new replacement.

 

[CUDACOX]

If those are cracks,it's beyond sleeving..

 

[toolmanmike]

Ouch!

 

[frederick_76]

Wow.. New block time!

Got a new 408 ready to go in.
Im going to see if I can save the crank and rods for a nother motor...

 

[jos51700]

If that rod has compressed valve to head, it's NFG.

The block is probably sleevable. Those are just gouges, not cracks. The head is likely trashed.

I'm glad you have a replant! I feel bad for anyone that trashes a motor.

One of the marks of breaking something good, it stays broke. Ya done good, boy.

You might be able to get it sleeved, but why?

 

[CUDACOX]

Maybe a sign that you needed a new 408! All the best. Let us know how the new implant goes..

 

[inkjunkie]

If you are gonna do something do it right or don't do it at all......

 

[johnparts]

I got a good 360 la block if ya need one.

 

[67cudafb]

I have seen blocks with holes in the cylinder as big as your fist and they sleeve them and most hold. Only way I would spend the money is if it was numbers matching block. I am sure that rod is bent might save the other 7.

Watched a guy window a 351 Cleveland ,on a Saturday night.Ordered a sleeve Monday. Personally watched him in 1 day: Bore the bad hole ,left a register on the bottom. Heat the block,to expand it,cool the sleeve(IIRC). Install the sleeve,take cast iron scrap,Ny- rod it in.Bore hone,New piston. So much pleasure,to watch him wrench.
