my new 416 motor, barely broken in, dropped a valve the other day, and bent 2 others. the top of the piston looks trashed, and the head is done for. but the cylinder loooks in OK shape.
im wondering if i could get away with just slapping a new head on, and a new piston set, or if i need to pull the motor, and check anything in the bottom end. if thats the case, and i need a new crank assembly, i checked prices on things, and the cost for me to do it all will be 800$ or so. now i have a motor in mind that i can buy for less than that, that is in good shape that would be a drop in engine, or should i check mine out more?
thanks for all help
