Hello Please read below Post Tks

Hello,
I have the motor completely apart and I have a lot of Questions. I'm going to see if Mike will take me some more pictures with everything apart and post it on nloc. Any possible theoryÔÇÖs besides I blew it up, (HA! HA!) are welcome. Anyone can call me and are welcome to look it over. Once the pictures are posted you will see the rods are still all hooked to the crank and they look like they came loose about a 1/2 inch of each other. Also when I removed the Timing cover there was a freeze plug lying in a little space inside the cover, no dents or scratches. One other strange item the motor is missing a follower or rocker off the intake side.
It showed no code's until we would crack the throttle at idle then it would show a rich mixture on the side missing the rocker which would make since because the exhaust valve would still open and let the fuel go into the exhaust, I know a o2 reads air. Thanks in advance for the help. Sorry I missed the meeting I was motoring. Mory Congratulations on the Lightning can't wait till see it. Mike I will lay all of this stuff out in nice order and get with you I want to post this on nloc and start reading some responses. Thanks to all have a great day and Good night.

So Richard H. It looks like you are no longer the Lighting Killer than tital now belonges to someone eles!!

[Lurch]

I lurch take full and 99.6% killer, Also the Mechanic though!!

[Jeff]

I've actually heard of the rockers falling off on the 03-04 Cobra's . It wasn't a common problem but several people had it happen to them and never knew it until the valve cover was pulled . It seems some were just not right from the factory and some were . I honestly wouldn't worry about it .

And looks to me like a a little rod stretch action .

That must be one hell of a blender they used

[jay_99z]

Damn! What's the going rate for scrap metal right now?

[clubracergt1]

I am just curious as to what made that happen.

[dkbmxer002]

I am just curious as to what made that happen.


meeeeeeeeeee toooooooooooooooo.


holy shit, that is INSANE.

[05Saleen]

Damn!!! Looks like it was trying to make a 10 cyl block with the 2 holes in the cyl. walls!!! WOW

[Lurch]

What really happened to this engine? I sent pictures to Ford Motor Company, JDM and other places,To see what they though of my thought of what happened. I think the Freeze plug that was found missing in the front of the block filled the engine up with water and Hydrostatic locked the engine from the bottom side and snapped everything almost at the same time They all agree. The problem is What made the freeze plug come out? Thanks Mitch P.S. The picture where the freeze plug is laying in the slot where the hole is that is the way it was when I removed the timing chain

[Hard Head]

Bad head gasket ? maybe compression blew out the plug! just a shot in the dark!!!

[EZ03]

R.H. you have a bad head or you got some bad head?

[EZ03]

LOL, you must have a lot of compression to BLOW a plug. :roflmao3:

[Richard Head]

I know I have a bad head, as for the other, the worst I ever had was wonderful. :lol:

[Lurch]

Possible we now know that there was more work done on this truck than we will ever really know! Thank You for all of the input Mitch.
