Tuesday night i went to the local pool tournament and took my car. I drove home in the rain and parked my car. No problem. Wednesday, when i got off of work, went home and decided to go run some errands. Got in my car started it up and...knock, knock. the block was cracked and oil was spraying all over the k-member. WTF!! Don't know the reason, all i know is no more aluminum block. I am going back with either a 6.0 liter or an iron block LS1.

 

Aluminum blocks just do not crack without a reason. You do realize there are guys making over 1,000 rwhp with aluminum LS1 blocks, right?

-how many miles on the engine?
-where was it cracked?
-NX kit in your signature?

 

Nine is true. Take a look and see what happen. I am alittle more for iron though. I love mine!!

 

For some reason water and iron mixes better then water and aluminum when talking about engines and cracking........

I have not heard of someone cracking an Iron block from adding water to a hot motor that is not cycling.

 

Never heard of an Aluminum block just cracking from driving in the rain.

 

My aluminum block sprayed oil when it threw a rod which slammed into the block. I bet you threw a rod.

 

Almost 100k
right below the passenger side head
I know it must have been the nitrous.

 

And i am not talking bad about aluminum blocks. Just IMO after this incident i don't like them. I know a lot of people making good power with them. Just not my cup of tea.

 

your still slow lol

 

Definatly slow now LOL.

 

Build you something that will handle the bottle

I will get it going and it will be fast. Just a matter of time.... and Money. lol! going with the 6.0 liter. I will be back soon.
