this is a 351m ford motor i am screwing around with. its got 2 dead cylinders and come to find out that was because of a blown headgasket.
the car is a 75 ford elite which is basically a luxury torino. its a piece of crap but hey the car was free.
all of the pictures are of the engine AFTER i spent 2 days cleaning it. for some reason the iron is stained red and it looks like rust but it isnt rusty its just stained somehow, maybe from the oil. the cylinder heads and the block are not rusty.
the pictures of the intake manifold gasket is just a hint for you all to see how badly carboned up this engine was before i started working on it. the chunk of solid carbon next to the tape measure.
by the way i drove this car 700 miles to get it to my house while running on only 6 cylinders. 2 were dead the car still did 100mph floored!
you can click on the pictures to enlarge them, and if you click on the enlarged pictures they will get even bigger.
