First Run ....Not So Good
#21
So was there waterin the oil? How about the oil filter? Did you cut it apart and was there metalic substance? Hopefully not catastrophic and just a good refresh will get you back in business. On the brighter side at least you found this before spring and are able to have things fixed for next season. You will also know exactly what you have when this is done. Good Luck man!

Head bolts rusted? Spark plug rusted? How do the exhaust manifolds look? Sounds like a leaky manifold/gasket?
Since you're game for having them pulled at least they'll be easy to work on. If you're willing/able, please share what you find, including pics.

Well here is a couple pics of the motors i took out. the second pic shows the rusted spark plug in the cylinder that i think went bad. looks like it has been that way awhile. I just cannot believe the rust on these.
To top it all off I bought some 370's from a guy that told me that one motor needs work the other runs perfect. WELL took them to my builder each motor had burnt pistons. Felice figured well since the cylinders were scored so bad lets bore them. Well the blocks, rods are GREAT now i have a pair of 462's. Went to check the heads. And more bad news the set of rectangles that were suppose to be good are cracked This is going to be a LONG LONG winter. Man am i just pissed right now.
