Sitin here waiting for the tow truck

[WP]

If it was ME... and I started fresh, I would go Turbo instead of supercharger

 

[Snail]

Im not starting fresh.

 

[Brokenfly]

To get to those loads and hit the limiter causing unintended loss of load.
I've seen plenty boosted whatever's not make it out of the burnout box.

 

[LE05BUSA]

I just figured you already had good heads and rockers, and a solid block and crank. If it didn't destroy everything, quite a bit cheaper to put a $750 set of pistons and a $750 set of rods, and have the block bored and the crank reground (and even pay someone to assemble it if you weren't comfortable) than $10k. JMHO.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Just one?
Lucky

You called?

 

[Mr Lucky]

I'm going with 'hydro-locked'.

You didn't even know you wuz in a river, did ya...

 

[Snail]

I just hope my engine delivery isn't delayed by the cold weather in Texas.

Mother nature can be so cunty. We're suppose to be having global warming, and that bitch mother doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.

I want my engine.

I hope it wasn't shipped via Fed-Ex since they are down a truck/trailer, in Texas.

 

[Snail]

It was suppose to ship Fedx yesterday. Havent received confirmation of shipping.

Algore caused it. Fucking GreenPeople.

 

[Snail]

Called Lubock TX, engine shipped via FedX freight, scheduled to arrive 2/24.

Called Tim, he's not planning to tear down engine until nre engine arrives.

He also mentioned he has three other customers with supercharged CT engines that havent had issues.

I guess they must not enjoy the thrill as much as you do! Some people have cars like that just to say they do. Cruise nights and Cars and Coffee does not usually put much stress on the equipment.

 

[tinhead]

It was news that the block may have holes.
You never mentioned an oil pool so I thought it was intact.
You got some thrills from the busted lump, suitable now as a mailbox post.
I'll hold off on contemptuous comments about FedEx until after their low bid contractor driver delivers your new one.

 

[Snail]

12 days from Texas, Sail and I made it in one.

12 days from Texas, Sail and I made it in one.

That’s was a drive

 

[Bandit Man]

Bump for updates.

 

[Snail]

Got the biown up engine out, block broken, both sides just above the pan.

New engine is in the truck. Currently swapping the manifilds, injection and valve covers etc.

Be back up and running next week.

 

[BIggerDanno]

Threw the rods out both sides?

 

[Snail]

Not sure, we're delaying tear down until later. Prority is getting new engine dialed.

First NHRA drag race is 3/27....

[Vicious_Cycle]

Dammit! I missed this thread. Just read the whole thing.
Since all the obvious guesses were already made, and considering the extreme load the engine was under, and considering how rapidly the engine stopped, I was going to guess broken main caps. That would have been wrong, I guess... but close.

[jhinderliter]

I’m going with ‘ torque button stuck , leaned out ‘

Good luck putting it together

 

[Terry_Schiavo]

no girdle on mains?? Bold move Cotton

 

[Wretch]

Ring gap too close...

 

[Brokenfly]

valve spring.

 

[Vicious_Cycle]

I'm surprised it didn't push a head gasket out before it pushed the crank out the bottom.
.

 

[Wretch]

The valve drop seemed most likely when I first heard it but, since hearing both side of the block failing, it's making me think it was an even more sudden stoppage.

Under boost accelerating, sudden nothing without clatter?

Both sides of the block?

The pistons got stopped in both banks at the same time...

...but, I'll stick with my original long distance viewing type of diagnosis of valve train issue.

 

[Wretch]

I'm surprised it didn't push a head gasket out before it pushed the crank out the bottom.
.

Might have studs which hold pretty well.

 

[Brokenfly]

my old ls1 hooptie stayed together on bottom but shit up on the top was smaller and busier.

 

[Snail]

Like i mentioned before, it exploded.

 

[jhinderliter]

‘sploded

 

[Wretch]

I always like the understated; It came from together.

 

[Hugh G. Rection]

Done blowed up real good.

 

[Snail]

Tinhead wins half a crank shaft!

 

[shotlady]

 

[tinhead]

Tinhead wins half a crank shaft!

I can make a mailbox post for a midget with it!

 

[A23]

Don't go all Bert on us...

 

[Snail]

I haven't heard the full report, just an inside rumor. Still wondering if there's chicken v. egg question on the origin of the failure.

I should be able to get the full story tomorrow.

 

[Snail]

Shotlady that was you? I thought it was a robo call, if id known it was you I would have been less abusive.

 

[shotlady]

Naw, it wasnt me. I got the new iphone when it was the 11 and vince didnt live with me to put all the numbers over like he does. so i dont really have anyone's numbers anymore. <3 I'd let you abuse me <3 and then id give you a big fucking hug and smoke yer weed. and i think we'd be even <3

 

[Snail]

We should test that theory!

 

[Wretch]

I could witness the proper amount of even-ing was being done.

Im a quick study. he'd talk his shit. Id do a couple of bong snaps and then i'd be asleep.. (I did one on a business zoom not realizing my camera was still on, nobody said a fucking thing. I saw their vape things. and i know that wasnt nicotine hahaha )

 

[Snail]

Dang...I didnt realize you were talking VERBAL abuse.

 

[Snail]

New flywheel should be here today. 8 bolt instead of 6 bolt.

Butt gears ordered, tranny shift spring lightened (it shifted harder than a 1959 cat dozer).

 

[Snail]

Pick truck up Wednesday morning. Stand back.

 

[Master-Cylinder]

Did "we" ever determine why the crank broke? They are not easily broken.

 

[Vicious_Cycle]

Booooost! + Overdrive

 

[Wretch]

Still haven't heard if a valve dropped or not.

 

[Snail]

Haven't had time to tear it down.
