tell me about it, got the kit installed last thursday. didnt even last me a week. First engine ive ever blown. my heart dropped when i saw the smoke and heard the engine pieces falling on the road lol I was hoping i would wake up from a dream lol
yea i never pointed the issue to his tune, i have heard hes a really good tuner so i never blamed it on that, and yes he does awesome work and is good people.I got into boost because my dumbass thought it was just an exhaust leak and i wanted to see if it countinued to hesitate. I probably could have saved the block had i not gotten into boost. Should have never done that. You live you learn i guess.
Yeap some will hold for years without issue. Guess mine just wasnt one of them. I think ima just buy a used stock shortblock and put forged internals
yea man it blows, i was about to hit u up to see if you had a chance sometime to help me install my wotbox too lol oh well..i was all worried about the clutch frying and being the first thing to go lol the motor was the least of my worries haha.I have 43k on the odometer, Got the turbo on with 43k and blew the engine with 43k and the last time i had filled up was at a shell gas station, never thought of that, but i could have gotten a bad batch. and Yea i also hope i can have a nice shortblock soon , maybe up the boost a little, its about the only postive thing thats keeping my head up right now lol
yea, i would be the one to get this luck lol just look at jodajess, 20k on his stock block, taking it to the track and everything lol. You always seem to think it only happens to other people and wont happen to yourself, well atleast i did lol man was i wrong. but yea i understood there was risk, took the gamble and lost. Nothing to do but move forward, on the bright side, hopefully my new shortblock will be badass
Posted in my There she blows thread...Don't wanna humiliate my self any further or atleast in more thread than 1!!! We THINK that is what did her in but no real way of knowing 100%
That noise is pretty loud, mine wasnt that loud. When i opened the hood i couldnt hear it,the sound of the valve train and regular engine noise overpowered it. I could only hear it clearly with the hood closed or standing kinda at a distance, not directly over the hood. The sound from where i could hear it, came from the bottom of the block , around the oil pan, and i dont know about the piston order order #s but my block has hole on the passenger side of the motor.
thats what my ticking noise sounded like, this was 1 week after i installed mine.....it was the #8 rod bent.....was causing the crank to hit the skirt on the piston.
