After all the abuse...
 

My motor finally went boom! Looks like the number 3 rod got sick of pushing the piston up and down and decided to brake in half putting a nice size hole in my block and bending some valves.

FUCK, that's gotta suck. And to think you tossed 40psi at it less than a year ago and she took it like a man!

Re: After all the abuse...
 

And to think it went while I was only running 15psi. It was just quick pull in 1st that did it. I'm suprised that it lasted this long. Stock bottom end and all!

Re: After all the abuse...
 

I assume a full race built engine will be going in now? I for some reason don't believe your sig.

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Build 2.4 is what's next. Guess I can join the cheaters club. My sig is that I quit smoking.

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Question is if you'll outlast Allan. :D

Sucks to hear about the engine, but even you said it wasn't going to last forever. There's always bigger and better things. :)

Re: After all the abuse...
 

I did 3 months. and started back up. bad move.

hope the new build goes great Andy!

Re: After all the abuse...
 

I hope I outlast Allan. I don't ever want to have another smoke.


I was actually laughing after I got the car into a parking lot and opend the hood to see a nice chunk of my block sitting up near the intake manifold.

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Yeah I was wondering about the quiting I heard it blew up... though you were done with dsm's. Good luck with the future build.

Nice hole in the block. I guess I should build a 2.4 now as well.

Was that Patrick's (I think that's his name) old shortblock with the 2G Pistons?

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Sucks to hear that Nash. Is this the same block from last season/year? If so, holy shit for it lasting this long. If they could have only made the rest of the car as strong as the motors are.

2.4 sounds like a good choice. "Get er done" :)

Re: After all the abuse...
 

That sucks man.
It's amazing it lasted as long as it did!


Side note... Congrats on quiting smoking. It's been over 5 years for me and I still want one every day

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Wanna buy a 95 7 bolt block?

Re: After all the abuse...
 

If you need any random parts like stock valves or whatever that we might have laying around, let me know.

Re: After all the abuse...
 

We should have the valves covered. All of them in #3 hit pretty good. Hopefully it didn't damage the seats. That thing has been on borrowed time!

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Just got my seat grinder already had the valve grinder. so if they are not too damaged, we have that covered as well ;)

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Thats a joke right?

Re: After all the abuse...
 

Sorry to hear that Nash, but it was due.
So is the car just sittin at Elite now?
