Hurt Motor

sounds like the headgaskets are busted or you had head lift. engine would idle funny if u were running low compression on 1 or more cyls, and it'd be blowing both white and blueish smoke if you fried the pistons/rings.

but damn does it sound nice at high rpm.

just watched the video. im betting you pushed the head up. 18psi on a stock block is quite a bit.

So with a busted head gasket do you just replace and go or does the block need to be re decked ?

 

[Adaraas]

if it pushed the gasket you'd just replace it.
e: the gasket not the block:headbonk:

 

[olaosunt]

Really ?
I get the block won't need to replaced but my engine builder said the surface of the where the gasket sits (both block and heads) may be have become uneven .
You could just keep blowing head gaskets if it is , unless you re deck it ?

The deck should be checked and the heads should be magnafluxed to check for cracks anytime a head gasket is cracked/blown or overheated.

Update, didn't get to start the motor pull yet. Did get the new short block ordered along with an Armageddon twin kit.

Nah jk. I kind of want to build a motor but I'm not sure I ant to put it in an S550 now

Pro tip: look for an SN-95 or new edge car.

Any particular reason to look at those? I was thinking a little older.

Armageddon twin kit....I was looking at that the other day, looks like a sweet set up!

How did you spec your kit?

Ceramic hot side, powder black cold and GTX3582R's.

Suspension parts is likely the only advantage over a 79-93. And all those parts are cheap and can be swapped between both platforms. The 79-93 is lighter. The SN95 and New Edge are more readily available now. Just go with the one you like the best.

Little but longer wheelbase. HPP found this out on boosted ego's cars.
