Had the motor go in my SS/TC a month or so ago. went with a set of Weisco forged pistons. had the block just honed cause i went with stock 86mm bore and had the rotating assembly balanced. while at the machine shop i spent about a week porting and polishing the head, don't know what crackhead designed the head im surprised it flowed at all.

Fresh machined block


Weisco pistons


bout to go on the sub frame





purrin like a kitty!

still needs to be tuned hopefully il have some numbers next weekend

 

Stock rods?

 

Yea didnt wanna spend 1000 dollers on rods

 

Since we haven't seen any rod failure, I think it sounds like a good idea.

 

you have a nice ass garage my friend..good luck with the build

 

oh no? maybe you should ask matt from zzp about rod failure.. hopefully he doesnt plan on pushing over 450hp or so or else he might be regretting his rod choice.. $850 for rods definitely sucks, but its a sound investment

 

well I didnt see "fuel fix" on his list so he should be good

 

How did you blow your motor too much boost?

 

that looks good.

 

good ****! how much did they charged you to do all that?? im looking forward on this and i want to see what would be an estimated price...

 

Im not planing on goin high hp right now im acctualy trying to sell the car

for the hone and balance it was around 250

Not sure what exactly made the motor go im guessing a got some shitty gas on a long trip and it just didnt mix well with 22psi

 

Why are you trying to sell the car?

 

I'm doin the build on my car right now, the motor should be back soon from the machine shop, how hard was the timing chains to do?? my motor is out the car so i got easy access to all

 

not bad. k1 should be releasing rods soon.

 

Carillo already offers rods too. So, its good to see some good brands coming out with them.

 

Thats insane dude
glad to see someone else is also trying to get the most out of these motors
keep us posted

 

since ther are a bunch of computers in the back im gonna go out on a limb and say its a school of some sort...?

 

timing chains were cake no problem at all just have some one with you you to move the cams with a wrench to get everything lined up if you need the procedure i have it just let me know

and yes that is a school that i went to and my cousin teaches at its really nice to have access to a shop like that and the knowledge they have the only down fall is its in PA and i live in MI

im trying to sell the car cause i just got done with school and have yet to find a good job, so cant afford the car anymore

 

what did the engine do that you knew it was bad? just low compression? how many miles at the time?

 

What tune were you running?

 

It had missfires on everycylinder and then it started blowing smoke and did a compression test and had almost no compression on cylinder 1

im hp tuned havent tuned the car yet have to bring it from PA on friday then being tuned by a buddy of mine

27000 miles when the motor went

 

i have a similar misfire issue, but good compression. odd.

 

I had this issue, it was a bad MAF.

Aye man, I sent you PM, let me know if you got it. Thanks

 

i'm gonna go out on a limb and buy a new one and see what happens then. my MAF logs fine in HPT though, idk. thanks for the tip.

 

did you replace rod bearings and head gasket if so how much where they and where did u get them
