What if he was braking for something you didn't actually see?? Taking things to that level is a little ridiculous. Was the other lane open? Your on a motorcycle for goodness sake. 3 car lengths at 70, is considered tailgating. Your supposed to have 1 car length for every 10 miles per hour...

Pull the balance shafts?? Run a couple of oil changes, see if you can get most of the oil out of the engine.If it's just balance shaft bearings, I'd try it before trying an extreme swap like that.

I concur. It's time to do a boost leak test. Your probably have vac leaks in places you've never thought about.

check the classifieds. You can get a set of used 2g rods and pistons fairly cheap on there. They have a little higher compression than the 1g set.Also I've had problems with the alumiglide bearings and would recommend clevite 77 bearings.There are many things to consider when doing...

No line boring is a little different that boring your cylinder walls. Line boring is done to your main cylinder caps to correct any out of roundness. They shave a small amount of metal off of your main caps and rebore the caps in a straight line again. It has nothing to do with the pistons...

At the machine shop your going to want to get it decked, honed and hot tanked. Don't skimp or you'll wind up unhappy.Decking will give you a flat surface to mount you head on.Honed will give your cylinder wall a nice surface for your rings to ride on.He described above what hot...

Well the machine shop that turned it checked all tolerances, and I plastiguaged it in two different locations. Guess I'll know more when I take it out. What is the weakest link in the bottom end? Apparently something isn't right. Just trying to make sure it doesn't happen again. It ran so...

Alright so rebuild number 2 has died after running beautifully for almost 3000 miles now.The car still has good oil pressure, but it has spun a rod. I'm at a loss, so now I'm turning to you guys for thoughts on why it keeps happening.For starters crank was uncut just polished, all...

Did you check the caps in your new ecu before you installed it?

That seriously looks like water damaged gear oil that has been driven on for a couple of years.

:thumb: Violent comedy. Awesome. ROFL <---me the whole movie.

Start at the manifold. If this is your first test do it in small sections. If you have alot of small leaks even it will never build up enough pressure for you to hear.

Thnx for the pics spooln. Now its time to make an avatar.

Nice meeting everybody. Wish I could have stayed longer, but to all I didn't get to say bye to bye.

Pull a compression check w/ the car hot. Might have a slightly cracked head.
