Basic Engine Building DVD - Behind the Scenes: Small Block Ford 351 Windsor Diagnosis
We gonna show you some never before seen footage from the filthy Ford 351W we pulled out of a boat. BoxWrench Director Brent Bye recaps the story of discovering the engines problem and what ensued as the tear down process proceeded.
Basically salt water was leaking into a cylinder head thru some hidden steel water plugs that only these small block 351 W motors have. Being a marine engine they needed to be replaced with rust proof brass plugs. After running for 5 years the water eroded holes straight thru them. Water pressurized from the water pump was squirting into the cylinder heads right onto the rocker arms, valves and valve springs, ultimately all the way down to the oil pan and crankcase. It all made out for a surprising tear down.
This particular Ford 351 Windsor marine motor was fully rebuild on camera in the "Basic Engine Building" DVD. Even a catastrophic blown engine like this can be rebuilt with the proper knowledge and tools. The BoxWrench Series is designed to give you that knowledge and let you have fun with it.

For engines that are completely "raw water" cooled (as you described, by the water they sit in) there are all kinds of issues with warping, cracking and other irregular expansion/contraction factors. That's an 'Open' cooling system where the raw water circulates in the block, heads and exhaust manifolds. In a 'Closed' cooling systems, there is anti-freeze in the block, heads and exhaust manifolds and only the exhaust risers (were the exhaust exits) have raw water in them. Much more dependable
that shit in there is really nasty, what did you do about it, pour gas on it and scrub it off? looks like old ice creme i found in my grandma's fridge from 1956
