514 Tear Down

[Jahred]

Finally got off my butt and tore down my old 514. It blew three pistons at 300 miles due to first 6 miles that were run with remote oil filter hoses reversed (Thanks again for the new engine, Mills)

So somebody slap me. I am actually thinking about trying to fix this myself. This is what I see so far. Severe damage to crankshaft. Three blown pistons. Two twisted and broken at the rods, on looks to be simply separated from the bottom end bolts.

I see markings from contact with valves on both frontmost cylinders.

I see no markings on any cylinder walls.....the other five pistons turn nicely.

Exception.........there is damage to the lower 1/2 inch of one of the cylinder walls.......from contact with piston rod, presumably.......

If I want this engine to run again (not sure right now for what).......I suppose what I do is take the heads in somewhere and have the forward valves checked for any damage.

Re the damage to the lower 1/2 inch of one cylinder wall.......is it possibly irrelevent? Sleeve required? I suppose I take the block in somewhere to have it inspected........

Would it be dumb to replace bearings, crank and just three pistons or is a full stroker kit the only way to go? Not sure I have ever seen pistons sold separately.........

Any thoughts.???
