This is why Hot Rod is At the Top of the Fueled Chain...

Do what u gotta do refine the 6 cylinder is what i would do just saying cheers 🥂 daisy & Russ 😊😊

Russ bottom tail housing bolt is usually open into case if not u can safely make it that way to drain 😊

sounds like every Ford owner statement “I can’t count how many times I have the motor out of this vehicle. “ lol 😂

Lucky you caught it now before it really caused more damage. I've never seen a Clevo do that. Was the block line bored? Maybe for some reason #2 bearing is less clearance than the others. I assume the bearing is same size as the others?.

I'd suspect a wrong sized or defective bearing. It doesn't look like an oil problem, though I've heard of a fragment of silicone seal blocking an oilway. It seems unlikely here, though.

I run a small engine repair shop, and this is exactly what keeps me in business.

N they say a power probes for “experts.”

Quarter panel is fixed !😊

I think your block needs realignment

Getting close

Clevo is absolutely worth fixing. Look at those ports!.As someone that currently has a 455 pontiac ,I am envious of those cylinder heads! hard running clevo with a front sump lets all the oil shoot to the back of the engine. 100% needs the deepest, widest, trap doored sump you can fit and a accusump for good measure. Also full groove main bearings so the rods can recieve pressure for 360 deg of crank rotation. Those things can be reliable and absolutely can throw down!. No way would I remove a cleveland to go back to a 5.0.

Well Russ, you have been given a ton of suggestions thus far, but the one that makes me wince is the LS (me too) swap. If you decide to go another route other than the Cleveland, I'd understand. After all, it's your choice and your car. I'm partial to the Cleveland myself, and kinda in the same pickle; my 351 Cleveland 4V has been apart since around 1990, and the previous owner punched it out 60 over. I have a 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator. Unfortunately it's a rot box, and I enjoy restoring vehicles back to the way they came from the factory. Unfortunately, the Eliminator doesn't have any of it's original drivetrain; the 351C 4V is originally from a '70 Mach 1. So I've been trying to find another 4 bolt 351 4V engine with the closed chamber heads, but when I do, it's very pricey. So I have been toying with the idea of a big block like a 429 or 460. Even a 428. I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide, and if you do decide to drop in a 302 (especially because they're so darn reliable) , what would be the fate of the Cleveland? I definitely appreciate your videos, sorry I don't get the chance to comment each time, but the Mustang sure has transformed into a work of art! 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I would never trust it again without having it line bored. That being said, that's no big deal. Line bore, polish or cut the crank .010 under if it needs it, probably wouldnt hurt to knock new cam bearings in it with the metal being ran through it etc. I see no evidence of it needing the rods resized so would be cheap to fix it and put it back together. No reason not to. Bearings, rings, line bore, crank polish/cut, hone, hot tank and clean all the oil galleys in block and crank with pipe cleaners, gasket set and throw it back together. No need to make it a bigger project then it needs to be.

I had a set of bearings that were marked wrong luckily I caught it

I have the same engine and transmission in a 67 mustang.

Go back too the 300.....?

Russ, I think I would tear down the straight 6. Then decide

I can’t believe you were able to pull that without removing the headers. When I swapped the 302 out of my 70 Torino for the 351 Cleveland, it seemed like I didn’t have that much room. I didn’t have the rare 351 you have. Mine was the less desirable with 2 bolt main with the 2 barrel heads.

I'm glade to see it wasn't destroyed . It will be interesting to see what you deiced to do

Putting in a stock 302 crossed my mind just seconds before you said it yourself.😊

IMHO that failure was not caused by the valve train problems.What was the bearing clearances when that engine was redone?I don't think it was from lack of oil.

Nice job finding the problem. I hate when you tear is apart and don't see anything wrong.

It's true. Sometimes you just gotta rip the bandage off and get it over with, rather than wait and put it off forever.

Looking good! Is it getting cool there? 97 here today. Looking forward to summer finally letting go !

Not to be rude. Don’t fret over that bearing. It was F’d a long time ago, looks like a manufactured or packaged problem from federal mogal. So what to do? Well, you saved the block and crank by being careful, send it to the machine shop have the line bore checked, have the crank checked. I never like seeing bearings rattle like that, they all should fit real snug. Probably will have to put in new cam bearings too. Then put it together and plastic gauge every bearing. Probly better have those valve springs checked too. If they still do such things still. Just my opinion that’s all.

Thanks Russ for another great video, well the tear down looks good the true test will be what the specs have to say looks can be deceiveing specs tell no lies, I for one am hoping for the best for you, l would love to see this car rip that engine in her

Hell, go full sacrilege and drop in a LS3 and a built 4l80. I know, I know. But it would be fast and fun. and reliable. 🤣

"if I don't fix it who's gonna?" 😂😂 truth...

If my vote counts. I would like to see you fix the inline 6. That's one of the reasons I subed for " free " was the 6. Well it's up to you it's your money. V8's are nice even better with the right exhaust sound. A 6 is just different I've always had good luck with them and always wanted to build a bad one. I know it can be done but I never had the green to do it. Thanks Oh could it have been marked and packaged wrong ( the 1 bearing ).

Hi Russ, great video on that engine tear down. It's great on how you explain every step on the tear down. Thank goodness that the block and crank are still in good shape. Thanks again on another great video. Rich

Has your block flexed?Or a lemon bearing.Machine shop needs to check the alignment of the block

Teach it a lesson and LS swap it.

It looked like a 10 under bearing shell, is that the crank sizing? Maybe a 10 under got in a 20 under box?

Hey Russ, I am not there and you have more experience than I will ever have but…. That bearing sliding around in the saddle puzzles the wee out of me. Have you measured the bearing related to the others? Not to be a goon but are they the same numbers on all mains? Sumting Wong. PLEASE keep us posted on what you find. I see the frustration in your face. Chin up when you have overcome this you will be soooo happy.

Hello neighbor ❤

If you put an LS Chevy in it, it would haul ass and be reliable! LOL

Russ, I love ya, but how do you actually make money?

Any one besides me wince when the core suport got thunked. I know i have done that more than a few times. I wonder if the bearing had a issue out of the box.

If it were my choice I'd make that 351C right again. 4 bolt main block, standard bore, not torn up.... but I'm a 351C fan.

I'm a complete moron. I thought it was a 429 Big Block...I'm going to the back of the class. The late Charlie Murphy had a word for me... HFR...😭👋

Dang, Russ. I’m sorry you are having to deal with crap like this. You are in like company my friend, I just had my Aeromotive fuel pump on my small block Chevy decide to go on vacation without me leaving my having to tow the car home. Good times….😢

never seen a bearing that loose in the block before.....i still would like to see the 300 turbo do its thing.

I say build the cleveland! Fix the issue with the heads install t Meyer cam bearings with their oiling mods. Definitely check the mains in the block and of course the crank. I personallywould take the time and do a little port work with the heads. I think the little cleveland could really be very strong.

You know even Steve morris has engine problems so hold your head up
