had a couple of rocker arms come apart a few months back, and deposited some needle bearings into the motor..
was hoping it would have escaped any damage, but that didnt happen.
lost the bearings, lifters, cam, and crank.. Valves also slapped the pistons when the lifters bled down.
basically everything in the motor is trashed...

It's over at HKE right now..
Going to bump it up a little
Forged 416..
hoping to put out some decent numbers
G-force is putting it back in...
now... I just have to wait for about 3 weeks to get it back....

 

man that sucks Daniel, hate to hear it. should be a fun toy when you get it back though

 

this is in the 2010?

 

LOL thats what i was about to ask ?

 

yes, it's in the 2010. he sold the 99

 

Yes. Its the motor out of the 2010.
Had some problems after a cam swap.
Wound up breaking a couple of rocker arms, and had a couple of rocker arm trunions come apart dumping needle bearings into the motor. Looks like the needle bearings, and possibly a few pieces of rocker arm. Chewed up the crank, cam etc. Only thing that looks to be salvageable are the block, valve springs, and throttle body.
Looks to be the price I will pay to play.

 

This happened to a buddy of mine in his 408. Needle bearings are the devil. Think thunder has a kit to upgrade the stock rockers.

 

Yeah I have the Harland Sharp upgraded trunion kit on it now... wish I would have before they let go

 

Is that a problem with all LS motors, or just the newer ones?

 

Its something that affects all ls based motors new or old . time for some jesel shaft mounts

 

i thought that was ur car i saw the other day. what caused this? i mean this doesnt seem like a common issue or not that ive heard of?

 

DAMN on a 2010 !!!! Well I just got my motor back from HKE and it took a lil more than 3 weeks you must have a hook up !
