Im sure this one will be a beast.
how did the oil changes go? did you do any oil filter inspections by chance?
Will at RPG / Fonzie …both reputable engine builders .i'm having a hard time finding anyone who wouldn't use diamond. If you could refer me to some of these situations, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
thats always something of my concern because when i first began the 5.2 build, there wasn't many 5.2 pistons available. I guess we will just find out since i've already ordered the diamonds. Good thing the block is sleeved now..Will at RPG / Fonzie …both reputable engine builders .
RPG used them first go around when he rebuilt my Voodoo . Car was eating oil within a few hundred miles .
I had pull the motor and send back .
He said the cause of failure was apparently the pistons which he said were literal “eating them selves “.
Used Manley for the rebuild .
It was apparently a “well known issue “(Fonzie confirmed he would not use them ) among engine builders … may be QC but then may be they have since fixed the issue .
may be a good time see if other pistons are in stock ?Update; No updates to be given. lol!
Holbrook still has the engine and waiting on pistons. Watching the race season go by but is what it is.
I’ve already committed to the diamonds.may be a good time see if other pistons are in stock ?
Means a lot coming from you. THANK YOU!!Saw the pic of the motor on FB. Shit is bad!
