Re: Let's rebuild a 350 (maybe), PT.1
It looks pretty clear that the engine is trash. It was definately hydrolocked to some extent. no matter how strong the internal are you cant compress liquid. Its hard to believe that valve bent the rod. At least it looks bent in the picture. A bad valve guide could have caused the valve to hang open and make contact with the piston.The cylinder wall is clearly cracked which explains your water in the oil. You need to find a new block
