The cylinder head looks like it has been cleaned and hot tanked. My guess is a bad repair job due to a spun bearing. -
I thought it was weird that the bad cylinder had previously been repaired with ARP bolts($$) but the other cylinders ignored.
Talk about false economy.
That engine must have taken a lot of neglect before the current owners' woes.Comment

I understand that the enlarged #1 rod bearing could cause the piston to hit the head, but what caused the #1 valve to have little clearance? I though the man said the valve seat worn down but they didn't bring the subject up at the end -- nobody cared about the substantial reduction on valve clearance?Comment

Interesting that he said the cracked rod journal (with the sharp edge) machined the bearing shells, but I don't think you can feel the sharp edge on this large crank unless it was already broken and separated.Comment
