Welcome! Sorry to hear about your engine! We're you runnind mods or was this a failure of a stock engine? I'll bet the rebuild ain't cheap!

Yes I have found quite a bit of good info. I have been browsing the site for about a year now. Finally decided to take part in the festivities.

It is mostly stock. The guys at Sheid said the failure was do to the block not being machined properly in the first place. Improper piston to cylinder wall clearance.

I have updated my signature. It shows the list of mods.
