Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
Back at it again. Not optimistic about the condition of the 6.0 with the piston grenading so as a back up I bought a complete running 5.3 for $400 bones. I can sell the accessories and make that back. Not planning anything crazy, maybe. mild cam. Also thinking about sealing the Fitech and either using the stock intake or switching to a Holley Sniper carb for the old school look.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
Started tearing it down & it looks pretty decent, cleaned up the carbon build up from the pistons but the cylinders look good. I’ll scavenge the cam from the 6.0.

Good buy on the 5.3.

interested to see how the parts look when the bottom end is apart, see how bad the piston skirts look etc.

Started tearing into the 6.0. The plot thickens! Don’t know what this cylinder is going to look like but sure it won’t be good.🥺

I guess they saved a few bucks on new valve springs, huh?

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
No. It is/was a new build still wrapped on the pallet, but since I wasn’t the original buyer, the warranty was non transferable. I’ll try to get a better pic of the cylinder. In the meantime, here’s the rest os the mess left in the tray.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
At least, t was able to salvage th cam, lifters & pushrods. I was hesitant about the oil pump but the screen on the pickup tube kept fragments from getting into it so I reused that as well.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
if it were me I would disassemble the oil pump and check for small metallic debris, clean it all up, imcluding the bypass, lube and assemble. cheap insurance.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
looks like a valve spring broke, then the valve dropped out, then the piston hit the valve, then the pocket book was hit hard.

Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!
That’s what I suspect, especially that last part!
