Exclamation Not for people with weak stomachs...lol
Here is what it looks like when you run too much boost on the stock motor and bend a rod. Which in turn breaks the piston in several pieces


What's left of the stock rod


Nice little crack in the cylinder


Just a little damage to the heads

Needless to say this customer is purchasing a whole new core to rebuild.

It is a customer's motor who sent it to me for a rebuild. The rebuild will start when he purchases another motor to replace that one...LOL

His plans are for one of my Stage 3 long blocks so he should be nice and safe when completed
