No thats not water on there that is how chewed up she got from the crap bouncing around in there!

A top view....

Huh, looky there a hole in the valve....

Hello Top and middle oil rings....

I wonder if this had anything to do with it....

believe it or not I could still spin the tires when I pulled it in the driveway this morning! LOL

 

[LEB Ben]

damn...you really know how to work over them engines don't you...haha.

 

[Truckin4life]

[lil_dq]

Ryan

And from ear to ear!

 

[lil_dq]

HAHA your just jealous I have blown more motors than you!

 

[Truckin4life]

Doc, if its not to much of an issue, would you pull that piston out, and see where the rings are, the ring gap is actually what i am interested in, was that it that we see or did it snap the rings....
Im leaning towards the first one, but i could be mistaken, just curious.
Only if ya dont mind man, if its a pain no big deal .

 

[lil_dq]

Oh yeah I can definatly pull em out. I am getting the parts together today to get them to the machine shop. So when I get back home I can tear into it.

 

[Truckin4life]

Sweet, thanks man.

 

[lil_dq]

More pics of carnage!!!

Strickly for size comparison....

I still think I coulda tuned around this!

Don't think it was worth pulling the motor for....

I am seriously thinking TIG that ***** back together....

I think the pictures make it look worse than it is....

 

[lil_dq]

Just so everyone knows how the new build is going here is an update....

Just took the parts up to the machinist and found out that my heads and pistons I had planned on using are not gonna be good enough for this new motor....So now I am going to order some Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, some Manley .020 over pistons, bore the new block .020 over and install some moly rings with it. I already have the Manley rods and ARP bolt kit, I am ordering a main stud and head stud kit from Johnny lightning Performance, Stage 3 comp cams and gears for her. This project just got extended a little since I am not making what I used to.... I still would like to see this on the road in the next 2 months.....

To run that 18-20 psi boost, you planning on strictly using race gas?

 

[lil_dq]

nah gonna run E85

 

[DNFXDLI]

nah gonna run E85

and your engine builder is suggesting that will be ok for that level of boost?...not trying to be a smartazz...I've spent the last 2 years researching upgrades for my Shelby...and 18psi is the absolute border line for 93...add a bit of heat soak and it's gonna pull a pile of timing out of that.
