Plenty of resources on this forum. I didn't post much about it but feel free to message any questions about what I learned doing it and what I might have done differently.

I think doing this route, I would be breaking even, or possibly net 5-10k.

On the bright side of things, Not I have a reason to get something bigger. Lol.

That sucks man! I've started building my new short block but I'm scared to find what carnage I have once I pull the stock motor. I have a ventilated block. I'm hoping my heads arent trashed but the cars been sitting for 3 weeks now. Good luck with the build!

Fixed! lol

Sorry to see this man. I wonder what went wrong.

Sorry to hear this happened! Good luck figuring out your next move!

RupertPupkin · 08-26-2021, 07:54 AM

No idea. Wasn’t the first hard pull that I did since I got the car back from retune. Boost was good, AFR was reading good on the gauge as well as my dash logic. Dash logic was reading 81% E. Internal components probably just said peace out.

Thanks. A little overwhelmed with everything that out there, especially if you NEED an engine, compared to WANT an engine.

Hey Rupert

Sorry this happened. I blew my motor in nov 19. The car sat drooling oil for two months while I tried to decide what to do. I also had an extra vehicle and did not need to do anything quickly. In case seeing other carnage pics will somehow make you feel better (I have plenty more), here is the #1 and #2 pistons.
