    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    Shoot the 1009s I just got hang over into the cylinder, I don't understand why motors only .030" over so that puts me at 4.350 and the 1009s are supposedly 4.410... Ordering the 8519PT for now I guess, seems like others have had luck with them.

    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    Sorry the previous picture was after some cleaning. This pic is immediately after I pulled the head. The block was milled and I did put my straight edge on the block but I could only get one angle foe measurement, again .002" gauge couldn't get under anywhere. Preignition is possible as I was...

    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    Spun motor no coolant came out of spark plug holes, probably because I had to start it again to move for the tow truck driver. I also put my torque wrench on 5 of the bolts before I took off the head and they were tight, I'm wishing I checked them all now... I don't see any cracks in the...

Also put a machinist straight...

    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    Edited the post. Don't wanna get distracted from the point or assume causes just meant to point out I did not have the heads prepped before install as most builders seem to recommend. This is my first build so I don't really have experience or know what I'm talking about.

    Coolant in oil, fresh build

    How screwed am I? Should I pull the engine right away or just the head? I am certain I caught this right away, it couldn't have run more than 45 seconds with coolant in the oil but that's long enough for it to circulate and get in all my nice new bearings. Experience only here please is a flush...
