Bombed Continued....... Pics
For those of you who caught my post a few weeks ago about my motor troubles. It turned out to be what he called a "cracked ring". I call it a meltdown. The pictures arent that great but you get the idea. It looks like a skilled welder took a torch to the ring. And at each oil journal there is a melted spot that was starting its way through the ring. He also informed me that my pyro was 150-200+ degrees off. All is well now except i have a minor valve cover oil leak, which i will have him fix on monday. For all the guys who are running big power boxes/dl's you should really think twice about running the hot settings without supporting mods. This could happen but much much sooner. I dont consider my damages to be that bad considering the fact that i have a great package of huge hp mods that logged me over 70k miles. Oh, and as soon as i get 2-3k miles logged i will have it all put back on..........

ouch on the slugs. glad you're back running.
i sometimes wonder about my pyro. i need to find someone local who has an extra that i can try out for testing. i had to replace the gauge, and both read the same, but that doesnt mean the thermocouple is accurate.
