Opened her up today and surprisingly better than expected, I’m thinking bearing shells pistons and sleeves should do the trick? Looks like metal...
Ya I’ll have the bottom side open tomorrow hopefully. I bought it from insurance after the flood and brought it straight to a local exotic shop...
Where do you think the metal came from then? A new motor is 40k and used generally 25k if you can even find one. I found new oem head for 1700$...
Ya I sent it to a hack shop right after the flood and it sat there for 7 months and nothing was done to it. I picked it up and got it running a...
Finally got around to pulling 3k mile f430 engine out since hurricane Ian. Shavings in oil forced me to open her up. Looks like where the salt got...

No luck. Checked hot and have metal shavings in oil so something’s going on. Looking like I’m pulling engine and rebuilding over winter
does upper intake need to come off first? and im assuming gear box needs to be pulled out of bottom and engine out of top. excuse my lack or...
What about seperating the engine and gear box? Pretty straight forward?
Any write ups on engine pull? Even the valve covers seem like they have no room to come off on the spiders. Will most likely try to get it on the...
Anyone have any basic write ups on pulling and or torque specs? I imagine it’s pretty straight forward.
Why would I red line it and try to get it to blow a hole and basically junk the motor ? Seems pretty dumb ?
