blueovalz Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Is that galling on the side of the piston? Past experience indicates to me the engine was overheated (badly) at one time (perhaps before you became the owner?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peej410 Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 well the story behind the motor was that the previous owner put the rebuilt engine in his chevelle and smashed it up a week later. this was told to me by the guys that built the car and installed the motor, in exchange for parting out the car they kept the motor and sold it to me about a year later. the motor still had fresh paint on it and everything. i pulled off the manifold and the insides of the motor were spotless just had a little bit of oil on them. all the lifters also looked brand new. as far as overheating, once when i was installing the fan relay setup, the 20 amp fuse blew when my taurus fan was supposed to start up. i had gone into the kitchen to get some water briefly and when i got back the temp was at 240 so i shut it down. but that was months prior to the motor giving me any problems whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
