coby do you haveb a build thread? i really wanna see lol

 

true unless you need machine work done... putting my engine back together took me 6 days with every spare second i had without EVER even looking at the inside of an engine. it's not hard. building an engine is just like building legos

 

a build thread for the engine rebuild?
I been supercharged for some time. But like i said a few weeks ago the old girl died lol
I am having a engine shop build it for me cause i dont have the tools or time to do it myself.
If you are looking for like what all i am using and pics i will have those shortly

 

right on sounds good. and yea banker thats not bad. i could proly have everything tore down in like 3 hours

 

i had the whole engine in it's individual pieces in 30 minutes.... if it takes you 3 hours, you're either drunk or high

 

yeah but my credit blows and no bank will give me a loan.... best thing i can do is probably ask my uncle for a loan, but i dont know weather i should leave it for now and get all the parts first or start ripping it a part to see what damages i have

 

replace all of the plugs, see how it runs and go from there.

 

machine work is what kills ya. since i am boring mine i cant do that on my own so i figured just have the shop do the whole build which would make the most sense.
They are going to acid dip the block make sure and get all the metal out or anything else that could be floating around
lower the compression bigger pistons,eagle connecting rods,zzp valve springs,compcams,new lifters, timing chain and gear set, and alot of other odds and ends

 

lolz yea i was over estimating and ive seen the inside of an engine before. personally id find a place that you can tear done and find the damages and get some parts ordered.

 

either stick a magnet down in the cyl and see if anything there or go to autozone and rent a bore scope take a look around and maybe just changing the spark plug willm work. but something messed it up so something is floating around in there

 

op, did you do a pull when this happened?

 

yes i was doing a third gear pull and felt the cylinder go, im going to replace the plugs and see if that will do anything, hopefully not crush the ground strap again, but where i have it parked i can dismantle it and build it there i just dont want it sitting with the engine open for to long for something to get into it

she still drives but its only on 3 cylinders and i dont want to wreck it anymore lol

 

so have you done anything to the beast yet?

 

no i was home sick from work today, i looked at the car, puked, then went back to bed lol

 

you sick over the car prop lol.
i would not change the plug or plugs until u find out what smashed the spark plug becuase it will just do it again until you find the issue down in the cyl

 

yeah im not going to, im going to strat taking it a part this weekend to see what i have to fix, for now shes parked for good

 

so i was doing a little bit of reading about KR and...

Due to the retardation of the ignition timing, KR causes the vehicle to lose substantial power. More importantly, though, the flame front collisions are EXTREMELY harmful to the pistons. These highly volatile areas in the cylinder can cause stress cracks in your piston, which will eventually give way causing an entire CHUNK of your piston to lift right off and begin banging around inside the cylinder. This is why when the spark plug is removed after such an event, the plug end is bent all the way over. The broken piston can be VERY expensive to fix if you are not capable of doing the work yourself. DON’T EVER DISABLE YOUR KNOCK SENSORS. It takes less than 3ms to damage your engine due to knock.

you probably blew a chunk of your piston off

 

sooooo ****....... that chunk could cause some damage wouldnt it.....
