And yes I had already called machine shop earlier today....i was planing on dropping off Monday. Now I don't know? I would of actually felt better if I opened it up and found a obvious issue.

47ford

no sign of anything on the bore of any cylinder ? It could have still broke a ring land just not the top of the piston.... when I went through my issue I read on a few threads that guys broke ringlands and couldn't tell until the took the piston out.... not my case though lol

jasonsnova

Nope pistons and heads look mint so far.....

Check the deck height on all the pistons, see if one is shorter

jasonsnova

It's official #3 has a bent rod.
.....must of been ma​king decent power haha....uhg!

Gen 4 rods? If you only saw 222 kpa, that's not a ton of boost.

jasonsnova

Gen 3 rods..... like i said i know gen 3 rods cant handle that and had no intentions of pushing it that much. boost gauge went right up into the mid 20's . I had Holley on learn map and and I confirm it learned to 222kpi , but wasnt data logging ,when the boost spiked I got out of it immediately might not been long enough for learn to pick up on it.
Any way motor is ready to come out now , I'll have it at machine shop Monday for new rods and pistons.

Makes more sense now. I misunderstood and thought you ony hit 222 kpa. Yah, mid 20s on boost is a lot!! Even for the gen 4 rods. Let alone the gen 3 stuff.

jasonsnova

yep.....but boy did it go.....

Here's a better look at #3 Piston, as you can see it's below deck height the others come out beyond the deck probally .020

And to think....it was running a day and a half ago....uhg!

And you guys can see what I'm dealing with....trans has to come out with engine....i can't even get driveshaft out with out dropping exhaust or pulling trans 1st. Protour look is cool but its not parts change friendly.

A one time buy. Oh, and btw your car has one of the cleanest undersides I've seen in a while..... sweet ride.

jasonsnova

thanks man....its actually kinda dirty now in that pic.
Funny u posted that pic builder I talked to said put compstar rods and weisco/je pistons in and be done.
I'm also gonna swap out bell housing to a sfi blow shield unit while I got it apart ....maybe a twin disc clutch.
I gotta be honest I really liked to big power it put down and hate taking stuff apart multiple times.

jasonsnova

Well finally some progress , got my short block back Wednesday night, it now has compstar rods, weisco pistons,and main studs

Here's the #3 rod ....was just too much cylinder pressure for the gen 3 rods

And some other goodies to go along.....new monster twin disc clutch, and blow shield


Motor and trans are back in and heads are on....today I gotta finish hot and cold side/intake and I should be up and running

jasonsnova

Busted *** on it all after noon and it's all back together all I got is fluids in am then fire it up....test drive and tune a bit more

Man....lol....you didn't waste NO time. Looks good.
