got my engine tore down today.
seems like i have made some major mistakes with this engine.
i should have stopped driving it at the first signs of an issue.
but i only put less than 100 miles on it, and it never got hot on me ( IDIoit going by idiot gauge)
pulled flywheel, and found a busted crank bolt.
no dammage to the clutch amazingly, bolt head MIA.
was able to get it out with a pair of vice grips.
pull the valve covers, and found some major sludge on the driverside bank.
found the cracked head!
went to pull injectors, and damnit. these mister mark II's are shot.
6/8 all carbon built up.
3/8 of the tips stuck in the head.
WHAT CAUSED THIS?
i cleaned the bores before install,
new copper washers.
no extra copper washers.
SCREWED.
MOST LIKELY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
NEXT UP, pulled the passenger side head, and a few of the bolts looked super funky.
3 of them super flaky, 1 really rusted, it almost busted pulling it out.
driverside head, every cylinder inbetween the valves ...cracked.
pass head seems ok
this is a 030 over engine. the cylinder walls all looked clean, however most of the pistons have hairline cracks.
going to take a day or 2 to ponder either cracking one of my other engines open, or just purchase a reman shortblock.
