We Finally Opened Our Cooked 351. We Weren't Ready for What We Found

We knew the 351 Clevo got HOT… but we didn’t expect this. Compression testing the XW Falcon revealed: 💀 Low compression in #1 💀 ZERO compression in cylinders 7 & 8 Leak down testing confirmed the worst, so the engine had to come out. But once we tore the Cleveland apart, we discovered this wasn’t your average old Clevo… Big cam. Ported heads. Twin plate clutch. Proper old-school performance gear hidden inside. Sadly, we also found the blown head gasket that caused all the drama between cylinders 7 & 8. This one hurt 😅 #351Cleveland #XWFalcon #Ford #Clevo #EngineBuild #FordAustralia #CompressionTest #LeakDown #MuscleCars #TappGarage
