Oh man,Rob blew up the Lincoln in his little red roadster after 4 years of thrashing it like he stole it. This could start a war, I sold him that motor, Hope he doesn't want his money back.
That ****s Did it let go locally or in Des moines? 4 year warranty, I may need to pick a motor up from ya too then! See ya in 2 days
Turns out just dropped a intake valve,I'll be back on the road in no time. I have no problem build it ,beat it,fix it and repeat! Rob
glad to hear it was something simple and easy to repair! and even more happy that it will never be an SBC
Well took the heads off , not so good.The valve ate the piston ,the only thing left was the wrist pin.On to plan b,actually have another lincoln y laying around so motor swap and back on the road.Thanks for the encouragement guys,Rob
Check the cylinders... the last engine I saw where a valve dropped and put a hole in the piston tweaked itself inside the cylinder and fractured the cylinder. We couldn't see the fracture until we magnafluxed the engine after we bored the cylinders! I know... I know... never do engine work until you magnaflux the engine!
Is there a 'Like' ****on for Rob's response re. SBC? Just another reason to keep a few 'spares' handy, though...
