Checkin piston protrusion today 3 holes were in the neg. -.037, -.025, -.035 (NOT GOOD). Needless to say beat the pistons out of it and 3 rods were bent. It was never hydrolocked. They were Brazils. FML

Stock compression?

Yes sir, we are all scratching our heads....... We have no rhyme or reason? But after our visual inspection and not believing it, we measured and checked and re-measured and we found a total of 3 S shaped rods.

Man that sucks more set backs, hopefully that is the last one, and you can get that beast together!

Man that blows, if you happen to need an extra set of hands with any thing get ahold of me.
 
Did you notice excess white smoke towards the end of last season?

I noticed it really after the 1st hook and it seemed to loose power also, I do know my crank gear was half sheered and my rods were bent mabey the reason for my less than potential runs all season?:doh:

Sorry to hear about this Brandon. At least you found it now, and not by looking through a hole in the block. Good luck getting it back together in time.
