Buddy, you know that cylinder dropped then come back...and it just doesnt sound right...Don’t tell me u blew up another engine?
I had a friend that was gonna let me use his lift Saturday BUT I had forgotten it was my daughters last appointment opportunity for a 4D baby ultrasound.....I really want up under there to check some things like retorque header bolts check trans fluid ect listen to it run on lift ears near number 8....
It did get leaned down due to the tunes scenario of traction control decided to command.....oh I dont know stoich at max boost as a method of traction control!!! WTH....it also short shifted...so the recovery was REAL low but it didnt knock.....but load was thru the ROOF......
I guess with the trans taking like 6-7 seconds to go from reverse to drive, and flaring on 1-2....the engine definitely getting louder on driver side, the case of the disappointing loss of compression on 8, I am just waiting on the other shoe to drop and its HARD to enjoy the car like that.....
I'd like to get my core ready with MINIMUM a forged piston and rings gapped for boost...
I'd like to buy an A10 core and either do both on a straight swap, taking their counter parts and hopefully slowing FOR REAL long term building them....trans first....
I really like having spares. I got spare BBC for the 67 and had Spare LS I sold for money to free up for the Coyote core...i have 2 spare 4l80e for 67 plus one that's in it ect....its just what i do.....
Engine blows I'd be down 3 days...trans blows 1....seems nuts right? Well consider I've paid on a car 13 months that's been running a combined 3months and race season is coming....I missed ALL of last year and I'm not gungho but I'd like to go early while weather is good....
The dude on here with the Edelbrock showed out and he is getting a whipple at half price...I'd like to go run him and see if he should have stuck with it....(friendly like in fact I dont think that or the Edelbrock defection of there Product Manager is public yet or maybe it is, I know they are cutting him a conquest deal but he still wont have a real warranty like EB so I dont understand it on these crap engines hehe)....
I just drove it thru drive thru and its absolutely making noises it wasnt and didnt sound good....
Wish for the best prepare for the worst.....
