More Pics. I am convinced she is dead now. Do the heads look salvagable?

Looks like everything is toast! Sorry dude. I can't tell if the cylinders are scarred but I bet they are. Well time for an upgrade.
Looks like their are some parts missing.
Man i would :cry:and:puke:and :puke:some more. Sorry for your loss
What kind of oil are you using? Tops of the pistons are really oil covered and how many miles
Looks like toast to me. It's definitely a huge ouch. It was fun while it lasted, huh. Time to start all over.
What are you replacing it with?
Ouch. :( Hopefully that happens to me soon but after I get the numbers I want.
I can't waite for my replacement:mad:
dude SC those pistons are salvageable:cool:...
Giddieup little 408 giddie up!
Sorry,it's worse than I thought it would be.
Jamest
The lifter retainers are salvagable, doh

Wow, SC, that engine is toast! Took it apart today, what fun! :laugh: I forgot the crank pulley spun on the shaft. :eek: The crank may be salvagable if I can get someone to weld the snout and machine it to stock size. Salvaged 5 pistons and maybe 6 rods. You sure know how to break them. :lol: You knocked a large chunk out of one of the cylinders when the rod broke, too. Quite the carnage. You should be proud. :thumb: Want a piece of it for a desk paperweight? A rod and piston? Maybe a bent rod? :rock:
Damn Greg, I am sorry you went through all that trouble picking it up!Quote:

It is only Money, and you can not take it with you, so what the heck.
Good luck with the new 408!
It was worth the visit. I love to see other's carnage first hand, too. I'll do something with the crank, it looks pretty good. Bearings were all in decent shape. You took pretty good care of it until you blew it. Saw a few valve dings in piston tops. Must have had some springs getting weak or you floated them sometime.
That would correspond with the bent valves that Jeff now owns! Pieces of death metal were caught up between them it looked like.Quote:

Jeeze you can't beat free.
Like a friend of mine always says,
Free over comes many faults.
thats a funny quote but how true and SCIV sorry if i came in at the wrong timeQuote:

lol, who would have imagined the spectacle this would cause. :rofl:
I have a few parts I can use, even if it's just for a cool paperweight at the office. :rock: All the guys there know me as a gearhead, anyway.
LOL you need to use that blown piston as a paper weight
It's cool man, I thought everyone knew I put in a new motor. That is what I get for assuming!Quote:
