I just finished the disassembly of my 351W. I have it down to the bare block. Upon taking it apart found that two rods are shot. It also appears that one of the rods nicked the cyl. There is a little part missing off the wall of the cyl. By the wear it appears that it is about 3/4 of an inch past bottom of the piston stroke. How much of a problem will this be and is it reparable without skirting the cyl?
