Down Again

[Redphoenix1998]

So for the third time, engine is down again. I had a waterpump issue that led to me blowing off the upper radiator hose. Overheated and blew the head gasket steam cleaning #8. In the process, I spun a bearing also and got some heavy duty rod knock. So I'm going to do a fatty rebuild to prep for a blower. I'll post pics tomorrow of the damage and updated pics of the rebuild

Is there anything you didn't break?

Sorry to hear Allen, build it better than it was though

i feel for ya. ive been there. one of my bearings spun and then stacked on top of each other. i tried to go the easy way out and get my crank welded and then turned. i dont recommend that cause my crank eventually broke in two. it broke on a rod journal and luckly i didnt need mine line bored. just a hone job.

Plan as goes is this. 4" Bore, 4" Stroke. All machine work will be done by me to save labor and all parts will be new in the rotating assembly
