For those of you that knew I hurt my car at the LTx Shootout, I have finally got the time to tear it apart.

For those that didn't know anything, to put it short and sweet, I ended up with lots of water in the oil before the first round of eliminations. I thought it was just a headgasket had blown. Well I got the heads off of it and both headgaskets are fine. Here is what I found after a second look. :thumbdown:



Look just above the piston on the cylinder wall.

I don't know what I'm going to do at this point, I have several different options. I just gotta weigh them all out. :???:

At least I know I can go 9-second speeds (135 mph) non-intercooled and on 91 octane and not hurt the pistons or headgaskets.

 

That's too bad Josh...sorry for your problem. What is the bore of your motor? I suppose the only way you may have caught that was to have the cylinders sonic tested before boring, but its not very practical. Nice MPH by the way!

 

It's only a .030" over motor, so I wouldn't have thought that I would have had a problem like that. It's only got about 1000 street (easy) miles, 12 dyno pulls and 3 track passes on it.

 

Thats ****ty man,I wouldnt have thought an iron block wouldve done that w/ that little run time and only 30 over.

Time to go block hunting,good look on a good find bro!

 

if you scrap the block i need a set of front and rear main caps???
