Got it apart and found I cracked a sleeve and blew a hg and eroded the top of the sleeve.

 

So 11:1 and YSI isn't a good combo???

What fuel do you use?

 

It's a Great Combo.......

 

Wow you should be proud. Hardly anyone has cracked a vq sleeve on here.

Think there was too much timing? Or that the hg let go first and then the sleeve took a sht?

It's possible that block just had a bad sleeve that didn't show it's self during machining or in the past

You have any thoughts on it?

Sucks to see that man.

 

So I had another set of rods on standby. And I ordered a new set of Pistons and bearings. And this time went with hks head gaskets and arp L19 head studs. All the parts should be here Friday so hopefully il have it running this weekend.

 

What are you doing about the cracked/melted sleeve? or do you have a spare block? Compression on next build?

 

Using another block I have. Going 11:1 again

 

Good Luck good sir!

 

So got a good bit done on my new engine today. Took there rods to machine shop yesterday to have them checked out came up with a few bent wrist pins and had to hone the small end on one rod. But I got new Pistons 11:1 stock bore like I had went back with hks head gaskets instead of HR and with L19 head studs over the standard arp's that I had. Don't mind the LS bashing in the pics my helper today drives a LS3 camaro


Rod in the hone




Bent wrist pin from old piston



L19s and hks gaskets



L19 vs standard



Hand filed the edges on main caps and block edges









Almost back together

 

Almost ready to go back in

 

What long tubes do you run?

 

They are PPE

 

Well it's back in and running

 

Faster turn around than most big name shops.

 

What intercooler is that?
