Quote: I hope that doesn't turn out worse than the bent pushrods for you. The last 69 Bee I bought was supposed to be a running project. When I got to the point of working on it, it also had bent pushrods on number 1 and 3 cylinders. I got into it and it had dropped a vlave on number 3 and busted the piston and the block. So needless to say I had to put a completely different engine in the car. Matt
Pistons look good with just some light marks by a couple of valves. It was in a big Chrysler 300 so I'm guessing timing chain jumped and it died an easy death, nothing catastrophic. Bottom end looks good.
