So today my engine finally gave out.... been kinda expecting it, but wasnt sure
it was a forged 298 in a teksid block with PP heads, comp stage 2 spr blower cams and a single turbo at 5 psi, made 440 rwhp and 480 trq
I got the longblock from someone else, only thhing i did was put the cams in, cams were on my stock engine before it threw a rod .... anyways I noticed the car had a noticable amount of BLOWBY on my new engine when i got it I had my valve covers vented to the atm, but since i just finished it up and got it tuned in november i decided to try to run it till summer with a catch can untill i could fix the problem... well at first the car was pretty nasty, but it slowly seemed like it got slower, and more and more blowby, the turbo would scream loud as hell but it wasnt pulling hard anymore and the gauge still showed it to be holding boost (gauge on intake manifold) last night idk what happened yet but blowby got INSANE
and the car didnt want to idle and had no power at all, got a check charging system light for some reason and it was cutting out like plugs got fouled, but i managed to get it home, pulled the turbo kit and valve covers only to find that the heads had a shit ton of oil sitting in the little valleys that didnt have holes and there was some oil on top of the intake vavles when i looked down in the heads after removing the intake....
the blowby was horrible lol im going to pull the engine down and figure out what happened to the rings or whatever and then rebuild it, it was stock bore so im hopeing it wont be alot maybe pistons rings and machine work but im gonna try to go back with this setup
same stroker kit dont know what bore yet
same heads PP
same comp stage 2 spr blower cams
76mm turbo
80lb injectors
duel gt500 pumps
wanna go 4r70
if anyone has any advice on anything better I should do let me know im open to all options my turbo kit is a modded on3 kit but im thinking of going s/c I would like to get into the 9s
