I dont understand why the OP cant just thank MRC and we move on... Instead of going off topic about MRC business or how MRC bad talked someone else.....

 

because this is the FI section and no thread would be complete without drama

"Like compressed air through the manifold, so are the days of our lives"

 

^lmao!

 

Detonation

Why all those new parts?I thought the rings were good?Valve job??What else arent you telling us??

 

the thread was not started as a "lets diagnose the problem" - it was started to thank someone who helped Randy out. I'd suggest leaving it at that

 

+2.

 

Can we not even have a thank you thread here in FI w/o some kinda ********? How many people need to be banned before everyone figures this out?

 

Thread reopend, 2 more people banned

 

In case people forgot we do have new FI forum conduct rules

please re-read it could save you from getting a bracelet


Thank You

 

I'm not going off topic. I keep getting all of these mystery theories about what went wrong that I did not ask for. Its good to hear, but I didn't ask for it.
Otherwise, I have said repeatedly that I am quite grateful to MRC and Greddy for both helping me when they didn't have to.

That's it. End of Story.

 

sorry didn't read anything after this post, but what is said is very true. nissan makes the codes so you have to "decode" it twice and the markings are not extremely clear or even follow with the code. the clearance issue (going with stock block clearances or bearings) will not guarantee the crank is running straight either. clearance is fairily tight compared to other motors, so if the wrong top or bottom is used based on crank clearance, and straigthness is not factored, a permanent crank bend is preloaded. this factor would run strong in a constant high rpm motor though, and would be hardly noticeable in a street engine, even with intermitent high cylinder pressures.
now rod bearing failure is usually a derivative of another problem. normally a mis-calc from the manufacturer of the rods or the bearings. unless, material from the main bearings tore up the rod bearings on their way through the oil passage. just need to see if it is grouped.

 

now that i went back, i guess i missed the drama. but yes, the boards have been filled with drama more than car info for about a year now. everyone wants to jump on an internet boat and talk bs about things they know nothing about.

 

Here ya go adam.

 

after knowing that it still makes no sence. engine inspection after a failure is crucial to finding the prob. pull out the magnifying glass! it is sometimes hard to figure out what happened first, but the outcome always has a start. wish i could help more, but ya'll across the country, lol.

you can call me scott, lol.

 

looking forward to seeing you on the road this summer Randy

 

Got the turbos back a while ago. Looking good. They replaced all of the seals and things should be good.
Thank you GREDDY!

Hey Julian, just got my motor back, looking forward to throwing it in the car tomorrow Monday since I'm off for President's day. Gotta make the most of my downtime.
