So I'm doing a rebuild on an F24 motor than failed due to being overheated multiple times. There was some damage in the 1st cylinder caused by the piston slapping the cylinder wall. Also once the motor was disassembled, we found out the valves have all been burnt.

Anyways, when I first had this motor built, I purchased brand new OEM oil pump, timing chain, guides and Ballade sports tensioner. The motor failed after about 18xxx kilometers. Is it safe to reuse the parts posted above or doing need new everything again?

Also, I made 500+who on e85 with this motor. This time around id be happy with a reliable 400-450whp. Any common boosted F-series clearances I can forward to my engine builder(piston to wall clearance etc..)?

Thanks!

If you have cylinder damage it's best to sleeve or find a sleeved block. Used parts are fine.

Block already had the sleeves in when I initially did the 2.4 swap

So is it ok to reuse the timing components with such low mileage on them?

Of course.
