well i was not aware of having 200k miles, the guy i bought the car from failed to mention the speedo was disconnected for 2 years, so i assume it was that high it has 168k miles on the odometer... so i dont know

That does suck though buddy.

 

Thanks for so information, but with the stock bottom end hold up to me stroking it.


Also, slowassta were did you get the machine work done.

Thanks alot, Mark Tisdale

 

Bottom end holding up...align hone the mains/cam journals, bore/hone with deck plate, clear oil passages, clean/degrease before/after work.

If the shop does all that youll have no problem, if you want to overkill it get some splayed 4bolt caps put in, or try to find a block out of a vette with 4bolt straigt caps.

 

ttt

 

i got it done at johnsons machine in norfolk

 

Damn Jonaddis.....what the hell happened to your block man. Is it just me or is that a hole in your cylinder wall???? Now thats a blow out.

 

from the looks of it, it looks like the rod went straight thru it... DAMN

 

I was thinking more like the Piston and the rod went through it, it happened on a 6000+ rpm blast so one little thing broke and just tore everything up with it, I was pissed off, but sorta excited because I already knew I was getting to build a stroker.
