Update on Frankenstang

Twice Bitten · 12-30-2005, 11:20 AM

3 fried pistons, with 1 taking a pretty good beating.

1 of the main bearings shot, looks to be no visable damage, checking it out to be sure.

Only slight scoring in the block, nothing major

Very slight damage to one of the heads, should be repairable, did not destroy the valves

Believe it or not, but the rings were not as bad as expected, that must have been because it had a safe tune with a/f of 11.8

One word of advice to those thinking of upgrading to a larger blower. Set up an account to save money for your rebuild, it not a matter of if the engines blows, but when it gives blows.

Oh yeah, never ever under any circumstances use Brisk plugs in a really high boost engine

Damn, when did this happen? Well, I am sure it will be better on the re-build! Good luck!

I will take one fried piston and side order of shot bearings. For the Memories.

I will add it to the fried piston Carl gave me from his rebuild.
