tearing down an engine I got as a core exchange, running engine that was pulled with the passenger side of the engine full of metal shavings. I got this engine a year or so ago but just pulled it apart for the rods today.
Found some very odd things that I’d like to hear some thought on before I weigh in. The side that was full of shavings I found some of the most severe rocker wear I’ve seen on an idi. But oddly, it’s only on one valve per each rocker pair, one side will look normal and the other has a circular gouge worn almost all the way though:
Drivers side looked absolutely normal. This engine has less than 100k on it as well.
On the bottom end nothing was out of place except for one rod bearing that speaks for itself, every other bearing looked like new.
What do y’all think?
