Just Got Carried Away with the Family Project

As others said, time to go bigger and better. Bummer none the less, though... too bad it wasn't a month from now when things are dying down instead of right before the Dream Cruise.

Ooof. Time for forged?

Ouch - who tuned it?

I don't think the tuner was the issue....

Time to build bigger and better :/ sucks to hear.

The real question is who won?

Well....., there will be no more Woodward cruising or any cruising for this bird this season!




As the story goes....... Some spirited driving was happening on the way home from Woodward last week between Conrad (Z06) and me. So as I approached the driveway of the homestead, a miss was detected. Pulled plugs the following week and discovered a suspicious one. Replaced all plugs seeing that they already had 2500 miles on them, !

Drove it and still a slight miss. Pulled rocker covers and everything seem in order, no bent push rods etc.
Then yesterday took a compression test and found #7 cylinder to be only 28lbs.! Oh SHIT!


This morning set the car up for the worst case.




































I am totally baffled as to where the broken pieces of the piston disappeared to. They must have pulverized to bits because the turbo has no sign of damage as you would think.











Oh well......... back to the drawing board!

No muscle car story is complete without a tow truck photo. Just another notch on the belt.

Phew - when I saw it on the flat bed, I was thinking much worse than the pump pulley, to be honest! So in the grand scheme of things, could have been much worse but sucks either way.

Get 'er fixed, Jim and boys, I know you guys will do work and make it good as new in no time!

[OVRKILL]

Suuuuuuuuck

Makes my stomach hurt a little wondering about mine. New pump? Used?
