My doomed 408 build

Finished the tear down and rebuild with my dad yesterday. I have a machine shop guy coming over tonight to measure the push rods, and double check our work. It actually was easier then expected. While it was apart I almost sent the heads to Shady Dell.... I still might.

So you tore it down, diagnosed, and rebuilt it in 4 days? Other than measuring your pushrods-What exactly is your machine shop guy going to check? I'm assuming the engine is together as in oil pan and intake on.

What did you find during your 4 day thrash? J.Rob
