This is what happens when a $15 part breaks...

1slo5.0 · September 11th, 2007, 04:13 PM

A valve broke which set off a chain reaction. I found pieces of the valve seat in the intake. The engine turns over fine now that the valve isn't wedged between the intake runner and the piston.

If that is what you think you better never buy a set of aftermarket heads. The majority use a Chevy style valve....

It was a 2.10 intake valve. Number 4 piston is junk and so is the cylinder. The block is now junk because it is already .060 over and I don't want to push it any more regardless of what the sonic testing showed. Time for a Dart block. The other 3 pistons on that side are salvageable and I'm reasonbly sure the other 4 pistons on the other side are salvageable too. I'll know more when I get the other head off. The crank and rods seem to be good too. The head is repairable. We might put this engine back together in a different block and put it in my buddies car. I think I'm going to build something crazy for next year.
