I picked up an 05 5.7 about a month ago for a guy and was told it had 150,000 miles and the guy just wanted a new engine this one ran hot one time. My plan was to rebuild and put it in my 03 RAM 1500. That has 240,000 miles
So this morning I was checking it out and noticed one of the spark plugs gaps was closed
So off comes the head and this is what I found.
Was not able to down load picture from my phone.
Broken piston and head was beat up real bad. Looks like valve seat is gone to. As in not there anymore.
Lucky I only gave $175.00 for the engine. But not sure 20th will clear up the cylinder.
