Reply to "351C trouble."

The break-in went smooth..we kept the engine over 2500 until it reaced operating temperature. and we primed the machine before startup. also we use a electric fuelpump and this caused the engine to start right away. This is why i can't understand how this could happen ?!?!

We have disassembled the engine now and first all the bearings are wasted totaly.
The pistons should be rotating freely on the rods but they are stuck and need a lot of force to twist.

I think i'll have to sell all the parts that are ok and buy a new engine instead. I don't want to risk this happening again that's for sure.
