I finally tore the 340 down from last year's breakage at Norwalk. The good...........heads, valves, cam, lifters are all OK. The bad............the block is going to need a sleeve but, will live. Here's the ugly..........

I'm working on it Bill. I had to see what was salvagable from this pile first. I need some machine work, rods and a LOT of cleaning.

If you ever get enough water or fuel in a cylinder to hydraulic it, pull it apart and check the bearings. If it was real bad, it might bend the rod too.
That rod and journal got pretty hot. How do you figure it was a hydraulic issue?

Don't have much to offer but moral support, but if I can help let me know.

When an engine kicks over with a full cylinder, (previous firing piston, not starter) it deforms the upper bearing. It's just a matter of time before it spins the bearing.

That's not right. From the pictures anyone can CLEARLY see it was an oil pan failure.

I would have expected 200 passes without taking it apart. I usually can't leave the engine alone that long. I will put main studs in it and have the main bores touched up while it's at the shop. Milodon 340 center sump pan for sale. 40 passes in a pump gas 340. Needs work.

I'm amazed at what the scat I beams can do. That's a revver! Makes me feel a lot better about using them in my 408. Here's to a speedy recovery.

I picked up the block from the shop yesterday. It didn't require the sleeve. Another .020" honed from the bore cleaned it up surprisingly well. Only 2 visible "flicks" and well below ring travel. White specks are just lint. BIG 349.6" engine for 2011
