first off. heres some pics of my truck with the new tires and lift thats going on tomorrow. the tires are 37" super swamper Trxus MT's its now a total of 10 inches of lift. 5inch skyjacker and 2inch spacer and 2 inch bigger block. and 3inch body lift





and now... the carnage!!!!!!!!!!!







chip missing from the valves




the piston thats all scored on the top

 

Nice.... Are those pushrods bent? Do you know what exactly happened?

 

no there not bent ther just laying there. and no i have no idea lol

 

Nice!!! You take the crank out yet and check out the rods and block? Get those pics up!

 

na thats tomorrow. if everything looks alright im gunna send the block out monday to be blasted and magnufluxed and all that crap

 

hahaha, that motor is "spent" i think your the first to actually kill a 318

 

wow, what happend to it?

 

Good luck on your project.

It looks like you are tackling it with Gusto!

Sorry to see that valve.

When you are going back together with the heads
you might think about going with one of
Cometic's thin head gaskets instead of the 0.047 factory gasket
and have Cometic cut it to exactly fit the 318 bore size
rather than get the factory gasket cut to fit the larger 360.

It might also be a good idea to round off and polish
the sharp point at the end of the ridges
between the intake and exhaust valves
as some engine builders suspect this is a spot
that can heat up under full load
and cause detonation.

 

steve i have no clue what happened to it.

hankL, thanks ill look into that

 

perhaps you had some mud or debris in there floating around for awhile tearing **** up
