I made out real lucky on this...
I lost a big piece of piston no 7 and thought I hd ruined the block/heads, but turns out that the Block is perfect, HPE has it along with the crank which was also perfect.
Heads are perfect, valves are perfect, no signs of where the piston chunk that left no 7 went anywhere. It just went up in smoke I guess. No signs of it through the turbine blades either
Im waiting on my pistons and rods to arrive from LS1speed, and I'll take them along with the heads to HPE so they can balance the rotating assembly and make sure the heads are flat. I hope it doesn't take too long to get everythign squared away, the guys over there do good work though. I can't wait to put the motor back together and put the turbo back on
Went ahead and built aa complete custom fuel system too, should never run lean again till I wanna surpass 1000 hp
Now I will need to get it tuned, after it runs we'll see what the new birth brings
