Re: Let's rebuild a 350 (maybe), PT.1

With the being multiple problems that are possibly unrelated its really hard to diagnose exactly what happened. Its possible that due to the water in the oil a lifter siezed in the bore. its hard to guess in which order things happened and to be honest it doesnt matter. The bottom line is that whole engine is nothing more than scrap. I wouldnt reuse anything other than maybe an intake from that pile. I can guarantee the valve didnt bend the rod. The rod is bent from the engine hydrolocking.
