i wish my block came with a viewing window… that’d be awesome!
Do the sideways pistons reduce drag or something?
Did the owner tell you what happened?

I can install the window option for you, free of charge. I’ll call you when I have had a bad day and you can drop by…
The sideways pistons reduce drag so much that you dont even need engine oil. We drill holes in your block (5 per side) to make sure that no oil is able to stay in the engine… it just causes more trouble than its worth.
Yea, the owner told me what happened. This car made BIG power, but the shop that put the engine in the car didnt “force” him to buy the Comp Coupe oil pan or something better. He told them he’ll never track the car. Guess what, he did… once. Big power+stock pan is bad enough. Big power+stock pan+road course= death sentance.
It will be rebuilt Better. Stronger. Faster… kinda like the million dollar man. new block/crank, NICE rods and pistons, NICE bearings, new coating set at a minimum. Hopefully he’ll go for the billet caps, a full stud kit and a nice oil system though, as not to repeat this, and to make the bottom end quite literally… bulletproof.
