Colton :

Ultrasonic cleaning and machining would save this engine.

BIG J :

I'm surprised it can't be saved

Ben :

Can’t be saved my behind Marvel Mr. oil will unlock that thing no issue

Aaron - 802 Garage :

Yep that's a goner. It likely CAN be saved, but the amount of work and money that would go into it would make it ridiculous.

CCS WERKS :

Yes I have and then threw it away.

Josh :

if it's a rare engine this would have been worth hot tanking, oil soak and at least a disassembly to be spec'd out

b2bbie :

I think you should stop having your customer find things 😂

harryleesnyder :

I have one in SC

Mitchell Gisi :

It technically could be saved, but cost wise, the juice probably not worth the squeeze.

confound :

Run that thing through the dishwasher it will be fine

Anonymous-Ish Norwegian :

REDREPAIR :

Unfortunately I have , why cylinder were good , the cam and lifter bores were too damaged for hydraulic lifters and the cost to do the cam bore correctly exceeded the cost to get a already machined block .

hillbilly1946 :

yep

double R :

MoonDragonArt :

Dude, pressure wash that thing out, bathe it in marvel and give it a couple days. It will run
