**** that, dude. I ain't buying a 3rd block for this car.

I'm taking everything off of it right now. I'm going to buy a engine hoist tomorrow and see if I can't have some pistons expressed shipped.

 

The block in the car is new well it's only like 6-7 months old and 4-5 of those the car was in storage.

 

Yeah, I am having difficulty in troubleshooting a destroyed ringland.

I bet it was due to the difficulty that I had in chasing AFR's since I was beta-testing v4.2c for TXS. I had a very small ic:tb leak for a short period. I am still seeing some misfires right now. My ic is well coated internally with blow-by oil.

I may have been lean all the time and didn't know it.

We also had a ****ty cam gear on there (one tooth was chipped.) Timing may have been off even though good timing was being reported in the logs.

It may have been due to my 'break-in' period (don't tell NoLimit I said that.)

Plugs looked good but a bit baked and rich.

I just filtered my oil tonight and didn't see any sediment. I didn't rip the filter open, though.

 

Sorry to hear about all this Pat. Hope it all works out for you!

 

I'll figure something out.

Thanks, bud.

Coming home for x-mas?

 

Pat, you're a soldier (both literally and figuratively)! I've no doubt you're going to hold it down and get it done.

I just ordered the CP pistons. I'm going to rent a hoist tomorrow. I don't care if I have to do it myself.
