Took one apart that ate a valve. Took a 40 thou overbore to clean up the scoring, and the piston was destroyed (it actually had a piece of valve stuck in it) did a 6.7 that'd been dusted. The cylinders weren't actually too bad, but the rings were not in great shape. The broken cam ve engine I got a while back has cylinder walls that look recently redone. I'm actually a little stumped as to why the cam broke.
I've redone plenty of Waukesha, and cat engines that've been really bad. Worst one was a 3512 cat that dropped 2 valves, and destroyed the top of the piston so bad the top ring came off. Also did a 3408 cat that broke all but 2 valvesprings (so 30 valvesprings) broke 1 bad enough it it popped the retainer, and keepers off (and we never did find one of the keepers. Probably what all the metal shavings were)
