:DI am a shmuck.... I went dot to dot on a new cam TR224/224 563 563 112 and ti retain comp 918's new ported pump and well no degwheel and assumed the smaller lift / straight up would fine. ASSuME'd p2v well guess I am gonna make more than just the 75 I was initally gonna go for HAHAHA
gonna do a bit more than anticipated... just hoping the sleve is still workable got a scratch in it but my machinist is DA MAN!!!
Nicks machine in South River NJ. He is the #1 Bulgarian nutty professor . Only machine shop you can find him 4-4 pm 2 am and eat off his floor b/c he is so meticulous... Love that Guy he's always happy to see me and feels my pain hahaha. I almost think he does not like to take my cabbage. He even told me before I married my ex. "Eddie I do not know if your father told yopu this so I will... Don't marry her b/c she's older which means she will be 1. Uglier sooner, 2. Grumpier Sooner, 3.All mine! HAHAHA! " You gotta find a nice much younger chick.
I'll get a pic of the scratch it catches my finger nail.
Anyone got specs for what I can SAFELYaka Daily Beater/ Every light is my qtr mile!

Till Then........:D:flipbird::headbang::shiner::naughty ::twisted::givesfuck:thefinger:smokin::corn::drive ::pimp:

sorry to see
 

I just installed that exact cam straight up as you did, everything went well for me, you might double check your springs, ret. and locks. That sucks, I feel for you. I hope you get it up and runnin' soon, good luck!!!

Sounds like you got a great outllok on it man. Every F' up is just an opportunity. If My H/C install goes like that though I'll be driving the pick-up for a while. Better luck on your new build!

Still don't understand how that happened with a 224?????

I ran the same cam with 1.75 pro mag's and 59cc afr's and had .100/.135 ptvc well mine was on a 114 but can't see it hitting. must have been off a dot.

You should not even have to flycut with a 224. even with a .040 gasket

What kind of chain and gears do you have? had to have been put in wrong or had a spring break.

am i hallucinating or did edfirebird vote on every one of the options as well as bmxer?

Maybe there should be one more option in the poll for poppen a hole in your'e piston with a 224 cam:confused:

Looked at the pics one more time. You can see all the intake's hit. they are shined up at the top.

that cam was def installed wrong. even on a 112 prob still on a 110 ICL so the only thing would be tighter from a 114 would be ex and i had .135 ex with 59cc afr's

is this just an ad for a non sposor?

sure is. I caught that also. Did you by chance install the cam 180 out??? :)

thats my vote...you can run em up to 4 degrees off and they don't hit :D

So, it's the cams fault?

always ck everything-always (did i mention always) to error is human
before you pull it comp apart, see where things went wrong, if the cam gears matched up, correct dots, how much lifter preload, spring tension, etc-it would be good to find out what exactly happened, esp if others ran the same setup without a prop.-no shame in a mistake, i make them all the time, i just dont learn from mine-lol

Hate to see hard work turn into carnage.The on line parts:pistons=good,rods=wind chimes.

How about these rods?

You lined the cam up wrong. I did this once before a long time ago on accident (worked a 12 hr shift then came home trying to build motors at 4am), and did the same exact thing. If you lined it up "dot to dot", there is no way that would have happened with a 224 cam. You could mill your heads .065 and it still wouldn't do that with a 224 cam if installed correctly.

Would definately have the block checked out by a machine shop that knows LS1's specifically.

The max bore for stock LS1 block is 3.905. That gives .007 to clear the scratch, and that's not much(only .0035 per side). And that first ebay link says the piston rod combo is for a 4" stroke(Stock is 3.622). I would start by letting your machinist look at the block. If he says it's no good you will be better off buying a new forged short block.
