[bored post]Well, I spun a rod bearing on my engin, and now gatering/ordering parts to get a nutter engine together. Hopefully some of yous will still be out. Maybe I can post some “carnage” pics. The od came off the crank…rod cap must be in the oil pan. The rod journal on the crank lodged the rod against the block seizing the sum bitch real good. I guess a stock 151k mi. bottom end doesnt like a 6700rpm shift. :gotme:[/bored post] ---

I’ll try to shoot some pics with the digi cam. Then, I gota find the CD to d/l the software on to this new computer. As for the engine…this will be my like my 4th-5th time ripping apart and re-doing. I’ve ran 3 different cams, 2 different done up heads from diff. vendors. This combo by far has been the best…it pulls like crazy. Even when the car shifted at 67-6800rpms it was STILL pulling. Still had tq low and mid to keep it a fun driver. Jay (num482) knows…rememberthewetroads+tuning/scanning?? :eek: :ohnoes: lmao ``` Then the S2000 that didnt know what hit him, or the yellow LS1 GTO that was quite surprized, then the white formula "all-mighty" LS1 ....well he knew and didnt get pulled. Then when I was showin off goin by SilverGTP (Brosh's) " Corn Maze" and he and Choda saw/heard me go by.:headbang: But, damn it I need to get back out there the car is waaay too much fun to put away and give up for the year. Worst part was, I resloved a misfire problem I was having, aaand got my WOT A/F from a smoke screening 10.5:1 to a sweet n crisp 12.0:1. Lookin to get some fine tuning done on a dyno too. 12 is as lean as I'd like to go with my supercharged setup, unless the tuner at hand can shed some light. ``` ---

balls man, that sucks. Its the name of the game however these things happen…higher weight oil. Pennzoil has a really nice synthetic 5w50 that is actually cheap like 3-4$ a qt. :tup: ---

Yeah, I was thinking of running some of the “good stuff” like RedLine or Royal Purple. I’ll have to look into that Pennzoil 5W50 ---

LMAO…the piston was lodged against the block and crank. Looks like what happened was the rod cap “removed itself” and it just dangled til it got stuck. Wrod of advise, dont over rev a high mileage engine. ---

Jay (num482) > knows…rememberthewetroads+tuning/scanning?? :eek: :ohnoes: lmao Yeah this combo is definitely the hardest pulling set up Ive felt in a grand prix. Matter of fact its inspired me to copy it over winter. It has the low end of a SC and the pull up top like a turbo. I was super impressed.
