What Actually Happened to my Lincoln Mark 8 Engine

[@preciousdymondroberts6861]

Oh wow, yeah that would definitely do it🫣 well a lesson learned for sure😅

[@DriftDreams242]

Thats for sure 🌴😅🌴

[@williamcooper2037]

Live and learn. Check and recheck everything.

[@DriftDreams242]

Yeah i agree man, with the amount of 4v motors ive destroyed i should be a master when im done lol 😆

[@loveplusflour4109]

You live & learn no biggie you're not garbage at building engines !

[@DriftDreams242]

Im not garbage, im trash 🌴😅🌴

[@loveplusflour4109]

Loll never see it .

[@Null-h6c]

one of the journal oiling hole seem to not have had it's cutting edge removed .

[@DriftDreams242]

Oh wow i didnt notice that

[@Null-h6c]

I could be wrong since this is a video . Just check to make sure in case i am right . Should not affect the bolt but bearing could have abnormal wear . But maybe the deburing was not done on one of the connecting rod cap . Just saying . It's rare usually it's wiress electricity wreacking havoc on average engine@@DriftDreams242

That’s a deep skirt block with crossbolted mains. Sheesh, and cast iron? Surely that’s boost compatible

[@DriftDreams242]

Its actually one of the most favorable blocks you can get in the 4.6 variant, its a teksid block from italy, from the early 4.6 DOHC motors that came in the lincoln mark 8 and early cobra models,

[@DriftDreams242]

Its aluminum btw lol

[@WesternReloader]

@@DriftDreams242 thanks for correcting me. Still, looks like boost would be welcome

[@DriftDreams242]

@piercer2 oh trust me man, these things can handle some powrr with a forged bottom end,

[@paulhudgins5120]

Hey man it happens, maybe some oil left under the stud, and that can give a false torque reading, compressing the oil instead of getting the full torque on the stud, seen that happen before a couple of times. It has happen to many others, your not junk at building engines, you will get it right on the next one.

[@DriftDreams242]

Much appreciated man, im sure ill get it one day 🌴😅🌴

[@leesbassment6393]

Man, no fun

[@DriftDreams242]

Exactly 🌴😭🌴
