Subject: Re: How NOT to flush engine oil! by Danspeed1 on 2013/9/20 0:54:13 Below is what I did as far as the breakdown process. Not surprisingly the engine was clean inside, very clean, and everything looked surprisingly intact. The bottoms of the cylinders still had the original cross hatching; the car only has 35K miles. I am not sure how to tell if any rods were bent during the process of running it with 10qts of gasoline in the crank case but everything seems to move freely. The other question I have is in regard to the bearings. They look good to me however I really don't have enough bottom end knowledge to tell if they are still good. I pulled one of the main caps as a quick way to check and took some pictures. There are some lines in the bearings, but they don't seem deep. Its kind of what I thought it would look like, if you guys could take a closer look and let me know what you think I would appreciate it. We discussed our plans a little further tonight. We have come to the conclusion that if the bottom end can be saved we would like to purchase a set of performance heads, a mild cam, and probably go with a LT1 intake drilled for a distributor. Thoughts????         This is all the parts going right into the garbage...  And for some good news today,... the COMPLETE!!! wiring harness inside and out of the vehicle... labeled by the previous owner might I add... arrived today!!!  |
