Put your intake and any other mods you had on it back to stock. Actually, put the whole thing back to stock. You will probably need a new motor and they will be looking for excuses not to give it to you. You might want to take it to a different dealer than you did last time for the trans. Maybe take it to the dealership that stupidfast works for. Maybe you two can work out a deal of some kind if need be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

well i'm already into the motor i'm working on pulling that head off so it's no big deal i will just upgrade up to something better i'm looking at a rebuilt ls1 out of a 2001 vette for 750 it's just the shortblock so we will go from there

ok i have the intake manifold off and the valve cover and it looks like i bent a rod up front so i will have to dig deaper later

hey redaddiction, that sounds like somthing that would happen to me,
If i don't have bad luck, i don't have any luck at all.
Man that sux!!!! I'm sure you're tired of hearing that,
You just better be ready for the shootout, i was looking forward to racing you with my setup that 's coming soon.

later,

try to get that pistion to tdc and see if it is still in there...if it is try to fish it out, IF it was my truck and there wasn't anymore debree in the cyclender i'd drive it home <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Also IF it was my i'd take a diegrinder to any sharp points that the washer made to the pistion, as for the head i MIGHT do the samething or just jet it mild <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

 

ok i got everything out which was just metal shards and it still clatters now i wonder if i can pass this one off to the dealership if i can give me some hints on how i could do that

well the cylinder wall is scrathed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> so i'm going to get a ls1 out of a 2001 vette and throw that in there but if i put my heads on it how much will that raise the compression

marc

 

i believe that would boost your compression to 10.8. obviously way too high for a turbo setup if you're still going to do that, but not bad if you are just driving around on those till you get a set of 5.7L heads. Going with 5.3L heads on a 5.7 block is sortof a trade off if you keep them stock though. You get added compression, but it comes at the price of the smaller valves <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
