1500 mile junk 455 teardown pics
I tore out the 455 and took the pan off today. Pan was full of copper, checked every rod. Every rod bearing was junk. All but one were showing copper. Any ideas what caused this? The engine had oil. The rod caps seemed hard to get off(like the bolts and holes didn't line up right). I'm thinkung maybe the builder ran the clearances too tight? I remember the engine being pretty darn hard to turn over when I installed the valvetrain(even without the spark plugs in). It also seemed like it turned over more slowly and stopped more abruptly (when I turned the key off) than before it was rebuilt. I'm open to ideas, and suggestions on where to go from here. Thanks, Jim.
