God damm! I just saw this! Say it aint so......
I thought your tune was safe for #7??
This is the kind of **** that scares me. I'm going to start an engine build and do not want this happening. Is there not an intake that will help us avoid this issue???
Sorry to hear of your pain.

Well I thought it was safe....I'm not sure what happened. Stuff like this is usually a combination of a couple of different problems that on their own may not be an issue, but at the same time they can cause a failure.



Motor is all palletized and ready to go.

Yeah I hope everything works out for the best.


On top of all this, I just got hit with a bill for $2000 deductible for the ankle surgery I had a couple months ago. I didn't think I had any deductible for **** like that. Wonderful. I better get 7 years good luck after all this crap.

Complain to the Surgeon that he gave you "hobbit" foot and refuse to pay that bill. If I had feet like those I'd sue the ****!

Chris i think your house is bad luck...every project done at that house breaks...my slave (although i haven't pulled the trans yet) jammed...or stuck...or over extended causing all the fluid to leak out...and when it did this it held the clutch disengaged...i tried to add fluid...all it does is fertilize the ground...

Warning for mike...watch out...your next!!!!!!!!
