Default She finally had enough

and let go of a rod........... on my way home for lunch today. What a horrible noise! Sucks because I was accelerating VERY slowly and had just up-shifted into second gear and bang.

I will be filling out the survey after the teardown to determine what actually failed.

DAMN IT!!

That really sucks Dave. Hey, I'll email you some stuff when I get a chance. I'm not "batchin' " it tonight (wife's been gone 2 nights) so I may not get right to it.

If'n you need something let me know. I have some spare parts.

Short block time and beef it up!
That is if other internal parts didn't get wacked too!

Well if I am gonna rebuild it it will get all the goodies, I am not gonna have this happen again. Just might take awhile to get the funds, and probably going to have to sell some stuff.

Might have to be a quitter and get someting else.

I want to thank Bill for his call regarding my engine! It was 2:30 AM his time and he offered to analyze my current and not so current programming.

All I can say is WOW , you guys rock! I am so glad people like Bill, Corey, and Cody still exist in the world today, people who are willing to help out strangers without thinking twice.......my hats off to you.
















Now get some sleep

Well the good news is that tuning doesn't seem to have contributed to the failure. Don't know what exactly failed yet, but makes me feel better knowing it wasn't the programing.

Thank you Bill for helping out, and for all your cool computer programs!

Any one know what to look for when checking block casting for cavitation around the main webbing? I got lots of pic's.
