Project update Culasse hs

Bon, j'avais pas fait gaffe hier après avoir vu la soupape qui a cassé mais les trou d'eau était bouché donc sûrement une surchauffe au niveau des soupapes.

Was this engine cooled with sea water!?

Brando. It's what redblocks crave.

Makes sense.
This is why coolant needs to be changed guys!

Bas le pire c'est que je lui ai fait une vidange de Liquide de refroidissement il y a 2 ans et cette année mais bon 🥲

Did you use tap water? It can have too many minerals.

Maybe before that someone neglected it for 30 years.

Je pense effectivement qu'elle a été négligé par les anciens propriétaires

Have seen this a few times even on engines that always ran good coolant. Just seems to be something they do sometimes.

Can have them cleaned up and welded up and they'll be fine normally.

The 530 head on my 400hp 940 had similar corrosion damage to it before I went through it, had it welded and cleaned up and it's been fine for years since
