"Tuners blame the motor when something goes wrong.. Drivers Blame the Builder, and engine guys Blame the Tune"

LOL so true.

Its about time someone on all these boards mans up and says their motor went out because they beat on it like they bought it to do. I am glad to hear this. I have a customer in the shop now I took his motor out that we built 4 years ago that spent every waking minute on nitrous and hard abuse. Just normal bearing wear and some ring wear is what it had. Big deal. Its all part of the game we play. Good job to you man, and have fun with the next one.

Casey, This also says things about you and your tune. If the engine has lasted this long, this tells me you as the tuner GOT IT RIGHT.No matter what you do engines will wear out or something will inevitability fail.In your case the right parts, all coupled together are A good combination that have served you well. I say if it's not broken you'll have A hard time fixing it. You do need to inspect the bearings if you are to continue running the beast. Congratulations on A long hard life of beating on stock block with no apparent issues.

No doubt, that truck takes abuse. Casey jokes about kicking rocks at it.......if thats the same as loosing 4 quarts of oil through the turbo and having the fire dept. called on you at the track.............that fool is a crazy mf'er. Good luck on the next combo. I'm sure you'll have no problem getting around your closest friends...Allen, Jon, Mic, etc.

GM was on to something when they made the LS series a 6 bolt more than 10 years ago. Richard @ WCCH Rocks!
