Time for a new short block.
Well my bottom end let go. From what I can tell it broke the crank. I was at the track and it broke at about 6000rpm in third gear. The only parts found on the track was the oil filter, oil sending unit, and a freeze plug. It bent that nice AI cam and bent both the valves on the #8 cylinder. Every exhaust valve hit every piston. It actually cracked the timing cover up the middle and broke the cam plate in half. It was a budget bottom end. It had an Eagle cast crank, SIR Rods and Speed Pro power forged pistons. I don't blame the manufacture, I was making more power and spinning it over what it was capable of. I'm going to do the same setup exepct with stronger parts this time so I can spray it. Looks like it will be down about a year. Here are some pictures enjoy!
