That #6 exhaust. Are they supposed to look like that after 10 hours of use? cry
Haven't found any evidence of any other problems internally, no oiling problems, no piston/valve contact, no obvious problems with the heads, valves, springs, rockers, or pushrods. Looks like the thing just broke. I still haven't pulled the short block out or the pan off yet so maybe something will become obvious when I do. Collateral damage includes the cam (of course) and the lifter bore in that shiny new Dart block.
Time to make some phone calls! argue
Well the summer was off to a good start...
