Too much boost....she is smoking bad!
Too much boost....she is smoking bad! Rut Rooo..... lots of oil smoke from #7 hole (see plug).... but zero blow-by coming from my evac breather. The motor has about 10k miles on it and it has been flawless till now. This plug has approx 500 miles on it.. The #5 plug looked perfect. I'm guessing too much boost and it broke the second ring in #7.... motor has to come out no matter a ring or a land. Anyone have a killer shortblock available?

tracy- Friggin hate to hear about your troubles but I do have parts for sale. I have my zero run-time 408 (LQ9 based) in either shortblock, longblock or longblock with sheetmetal intake that will fit under your stock hood with a 90mm TB. PM me if you're interested. I'm not home to crate/ship it but the shortblock is at a shop in Oklahoma City if you want to work out picking it up? the TFS 245s (6-bolt) are at ERL.
I kind of like the shorter stroke for the street.... I called AES today about the LSX 390....i am still considering it but now i have a little more time to think about it.
Thanks guys!
no but i think i will be ok unless i try to max them out. I bought them from the pinto guy on yellow bullet. He made over 1200rwhp with the .68's and the same turbos we have.....at 19 pounds of boost on a 408". He ended up going with the .82 housings because he is shooting for the 7's in the 1/4.
