My Brother Luis! Your educated guess was right on Brother!! 💯 Honestly I love your content because it’s real and shows what the genuine DIY Mechanic experiences! Keep the great content coming and let the haters hate because it serves to motivate!!💯🤟🏾👊🏾
Hey honestly I was honored that someone thought I was a mechanic 😂(even if it was a bad one!) sometimes people aren’t having a great day, so they find a random victim, that just happened to be me that day! 😂 I really appreciate your comment my friend!
Luis I think that you are a very good mechanic. I think you are also humble with your approach to things. You have a very calm demeanor. This is unfortunate the head breaking off the valve. I hate for you the head is ruined. Maybe you could get another used one and match it up. Hopefully your block and crankshaft with be good. Do not let these key board hacks or warriors get you down. You have already succeeded where others have failed. Have a great week. Take care, Ed.
I really appreciate that Ed, people like you make the UA-cam a better place! You are full of positive things to say, and you have an amazing channel! I had a feeling that the block was done for, that’s why I didn’t bother trying to fix that one and got another block. I was hoping the heads and the roller rockers would be usable, but as luck would have it, they are damaged! That’s a great idea, I will try finding another head for sale or at the junkyard
You have the knowledge to rebuild that engine ! Good diagnosis . As far as the roller rockers You should be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer without having to buy a complete set . Best Wishes and good building 🇺🇸🇵🇷🦊👍
I definitely appreciate your words! Yeah the replacement engine is already running, I was able to find a single replacement rocker for $55 😬… but I bought it just to have a complete set. Im still sad about the heads and it looks like this block on the video is going to be junk as well. Thanks for watching and I truly appreciate your continued support!
Do what works for you and ignore the negativity. The important thing is that you are putting in the work and it's for you and you're kind enough to share your experiences. Keep up the good work and grow your knowledge.
I truly appreciate your comment! Definitely on a journey to share my personal experiences and trying to learn more as I go! You really hit the nail on the head 😎🤟
I daily drive my 88 GT and the head gasket went in August. I’ve installed GT40P heads which i rebuilt, Explorer upper and lower intake . I pulled it myself and did all the cleaning and rebuilt it myself. I shared photos with friends and family. I enjoyed sharing as much as doing it for myself. Keep up the good work!!!
@@TheEpmd40 that sounds like the type of stuff I enjoy doing! I actually enjoy watching people share stuff like that as well, I don’t have much in common with the large youtube channels that have unlimited resources! I build my junk with other junk 🤣🤟
I got this block with the T-top, I traded it for a running car I had. I knew engine was bad when I got it, but I was hoping something would be reusable… everything was destroyed 😬
Thank you Dale, I really would just quit if I didn’t have the support of awesome friends like you! UA-cam doesn’t pay a dime, Im literally here just trying to share my journey 😂👍
your method is far better than the guy who said that = it is ok = for a JUNKER - but a street racer or hot rodder will strip the engine for sure ! WELL DONE SIR -
I got the car on a trade, I was simply finding out if I could get the car running that day, so when I saw the engine was toast I knew it had to come out. Didn’t think there was any sense in continuing to disassemble.
People sell individual Cobra rocker arms on the big auction site. I wonder why the exhaust valve head came off. Seems the intake valve has less piston to valve clearance than the exhaust does. Looks like those GT40 heads have aftermarket valve springs.
Hello, yes just like you pointed out, I was able to purchase a replacement rocker on ebay for about $50, I have a complete set now. When I took the engine apart a few videos back the roller lifter on that cylinder had self destructed and the springs on that valve was broken. Im sure the piston hit the valve and thats why it broke. Not exactly sure why it failed to close in time, but the owner of the car said he ran it extremely low on oil.
Brother Im not even sure, I know that it ran low on oil, but the exploded lifter, the broken spring, and the broken valve makes me think something else had to happen too 😬
I appreciate that MrMach1! Lol thats the motor I pulled out the T-top, its definitely done for, good thing I got the other motor in it already 🤣… maybe someone can use the block, because besides the piston it looks fine
You’re right, but I think you got the wrong impression of what I meant. Im not saying mechanics need to do anything differently. What I was really trying to get across is that just because I didn’t do the things that a mechanic would normally do (because Im not) doesn’t mean that I was wrong about what actually happened to this engine… Ive been around ford engines for a long time 😳, so I can tell when an engine is destroyed very quickly. Im actually sure you would have came to the same conclusion if you found what I did in that video.
Hello, Im actually not sure yet, I was able to purchase the correct replacement roller rocker from Ebay, so now I have a full set. Im actually thinking about sourcing out a single head from the junkyard, and see if I can put them back on the car, because Im running E7 heads temporarily

Terrible carnage there. 😞 Don’t worry about them hater’s. Your doing great work!
👊😎✌️
I was hoping I would be able to salvage the heads Rick! I was dreaming 😂. Thanks my friend!
Great video and you just do you. I enjoy your videos and even learn somethings while watching Thanks

Man that thing is DONE!!!! Wow! Maybe valve float?

That piston was swiss cheese LOL 😆 For some reason I haven't been getting notifications for your videos , thx UA-cam 😕
Yes sir! That piston had it pretty bad, I’ve seen pictures of pistons ending up wrecked like that but I never expected to see it here 😂
You nailed it brother. Wow that's some terrible damage. Were they stock valve springs?
How is it going brother? Actually the heads had aftermarket dual springs! Not sure what brand or pressure rating though 😐.
haters gonna hate...you were spot on, and dealt with it on your own timeline, that's all that matters...thanks for putting out content brother 🍻
I honestly appreciate you watching brother! That engine was done for, Im glad I didn’t even waste any time trying to fix it!
Your good man. Don't worry what others think, That person probably don't even make videos... A little J.B weld and it will all be good...lol

Dang that sucks but you called it,
Yes sir, it wasn’t really a hard guess either! You would have known exactly what was wrong with it as well 😂😂🤟

What are you planning to do with the heads? Id be willing to buy them as is , if you would ship them.
