    Comment


    • Sorry to hear, I hope everything works out for you and your engine.

      Amen to the fact that engines that last 100k+ are taken for granted.

        Absolutely checked that... 3 times... especially after decking the heads to get 12:1. Also we use this cam all the time and the rockers were not the issue. I have a whole workbook full of measurements lol

          • Sorry to hear Kolin. Looks like you're getting it figured out pretty quickly though. Your car still looks better on the back of a tow truck than most cars going down the road.

                      He's not really at liberty to say what caused it right now, but it was nothing that anyone would have ever anticipated. They checked everything multiple times and it basically boils down to one part that failed - even though everything was checked out before installation. Basically it's no fault of the people who built the engine, no fault of the tune, and no fault of Kolin's driving during break in.

                      • So in a nutshell, poor lucky with a very random faulty part. That caused one hell of a headache.

                              • I'm betting on a bad batch of blinker fluid. It all comes from China now, and quality really has gone downhill...

                                Hope the rebuild is going as smoothly as it can for ya!
