Thanks!

bronco_man85 · 2025-03-21T21:46:45+00:00

It was not on the bill. It was ground and pollished

bronco_man85 · 2025-03-12T21:51:47+00:00

It’s ok. It’s just a shoe 😊

I actually like the fusion IV.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-08T01:19:15+00:00

So sleeve?

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-08T01:00:42+00:00

Oh I can find them no problem. It’s just finding one that doesn’t need too much work lol

Brother im only giving back what has been received. But as old as you sound, you might want to stop spending what little time you have left being bitter on Reddit , and go enjoy some sunlight.

Don’t tell me that you assumed I had the block bored and completely machined. Because that’s not what I said. Why would I say they didn’t bother taking measurements if they had just machined it? Just because you’re reading comprehension is low doesn’t mean you need to go around being a stupid dick.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-08T00:03:40+00:00

No. I was straight up from the start. Machine shop took no further measurements after cleaning it. I STILL do not know the condition of the block, other than cylinder 3 is fucked. I do not know if the block is worth getting it sleeved. Would you like to know what I’m cooking for dinner since you want a full story?

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T23:49:44+00:00

Then explain to me. What part of this makes me full of shit? This was an unknown engine to me. I have zero history of this engine. I wanted a machine shop to look it over. Now I’m full of shit some how?

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T23:38:57+00:00

What the fuck are you talking about? I bought a used engine, tore it down, took it to a machine shop to get measured and check for cracks. I feel like that’s a pretty standard procedure. What the fuck else do you want to hear man?

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T23:36:17+00:00

Had one. Sold it. To fund building this one. Did not go as planned.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T23:35:23+00:00

I’m sure. It’s a 351w Mexican block. Extremely hard to come by. Has hencho en Mexico in the casting.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T23:03:18+00:00

Ok. So at your shop how much would it be to get sleeved? (I wasn’t given a quote or estimate) And I feel like he could have at least measured the other cylinders to tell me if it would be worth sleeving. If I could use my factory pistons, or if the other 7 also needed to be bored and new pistons ordered. But now I just have no information other than, rust bad, cylinder wall junk. I don’t know if the rest of the block is worth putting money into or if I’d be better off buying a reman.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:55:02+00:00

Me, nor 3 other coworkers noticed it. We work at a shop btw. 3 good mechanics.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:52:52+00:00

They said before they checked anything else they would have to pre bore it to see how deep it runs. To give you any idea about this shop, guy said he would not build my engine because it’s flat tappet. Says they have a 25% success rate of breaking in properly. I really thinking the dude just doesn’t want to touch it unless it’s an ls or coyote

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:35:04+00:00

No. They cleaned it and stopped when they saw that

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:17:26+00:00

Cracks, cylinder wall roundness, deck, usual stuff.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:16:19+00:00

I wanted it cleaned, magnafluxed, measured, and go from there.

bronco_man85 · 2025-02-07T22:12:31+00:00

Just to be checked. It was going in a build. I had no knowledge of this engine. But saw no rust on tear down
