Hey Guys,
Its been a while since Ive been on here. The engine has been down since June last year. I finally got some money together to get her going again and I'm trying to figure out what route to go and need your guys' opinion. The block is a 460 with casting # D1VE its currently bored .030 over and is going to need bored/honed/magged to work again. Is the block worth salvaging or should I look into getting a new block or motor all together. My dumba$$ also managed to throw away the stock rods and pistons
. I was figuring that if it is a good block and worth salvaging that I would probably get a decent set of h-beam rods and decent pistons (unless it would be a waste of money). I know the motor is going to put out any crazy hp. Im not running a blower or charger or nos so would the h-beams be necessary? Thanks for any input.
Robert

Yeah the pistons are definatly shot. The piston pictured is the one that caused the gauge in the piston wall. Why does the crank look suspicious?? Any insight will help

I am assuming that if I put a new set of pistons and rings in there those scrapes will cause problems???

so here we go. pulled out all of the pistons and rings. the crank and cam are good however the pistons have grooves on the sides of them and consequently so do the piston walls. here are a couple of photos. So looks like its time to get the block bored/honed/magged and a new set of pistons/rings. what a chitty time for this to happen

awesome. thank you. thats what i will do. there was not a lot of shavings in the pan but i consider myself to be meticulous with most things i do and would rather feel safe than sorry. the caps for the crank bearings and for the rods have already been stamped with the numbers, so i wont have to worry about that part. I bought a new dizzy, a new h.v. oil pump and a hd pump shaft. My biggest concern was possibly having a cracked block or head. They are the dove-c heads which are cast. I have read a few other places that they are fairly hard to crack so hopefully no issues there.....Thank you guys so much for all of the insight.

« on: May 20, 2009, 08:53:00 PM »
Okay so I have thoroughly cleaned the crap out of everything. I made sure that i removed all of the old gasket remnants and have wiped everything clean. My question is, if there are any metal shaving left at all eg. in the rings or in the crevices of the crank will that cause me problems or will the new oil flush that out to the oil filter? Should I pull all of the pistons out and clean those too? If I do that will I need to replace the piston rings and the sleeve's for the rods??

pulled the motor today. the pump shaft definatly busted and bent. Im assuming that happened when we pulled the dizzy out to correct the timing. there is no clip that holds it into place pretty much just a shot in the dark and feeling. pulled a few of the rod caps and there is normal markings on it from rotating. pulled 3 of the main bearing caps and they looked good too with no scoring. I am really confused here as to what happened. Could it be that the motor loaded up a lot of water and blew the gasket before any damage could be done??? the motor did not get hot at all. i am going to price all the component for a new bottom end minus cam and crank. the cam does not any scratches or gouges in it and is not flat. i will keep you guys updated on any new findings

Its got an aftermarket 10qt pan. I ordered the heavy duty shaft seperate from the pump. I believe it is a melling pump. There was some water in the top end. The motor ran literally for maybe 1-2 minuted with no oil would be my guess. Unless it ran fine for the first 5 minutes with no oil. As soon as the motor started acting up i turned around and came back in. I checked all the pistons and none of them are loose at all with no grooving on the sidewalls so i am assuming the rings are fine. all 8 come to the top. Im going to work on it some more today and see whatelse i can find out. Hopefully get the picker today and get rolling on this.

when you look through the breather holes you can see the cam and there is no scoring or scrapes on it at all. she looks brand new. I already ordered a new gasket and high volume oil pump w/new shaft. It should be here in a couple days. Im pretty sure the heads are dove-c's.

I am going to get a cherry picker within the next few days and ill pull her out and take a look. i will post pics of my findings. Also the dizzy is stuck and will not come out. Is the oil pump driveshaft connected to that in any way??

do the valves look shot on the heads? i thought that the cabon deposits on the valves were normal. I dont want to replace the oil pump and gaskets and then take it out and have the same problem happen. Or still have an issue with the heads.
