LBZ: Another Crack Victim

[LBZ]

Yeah I put the cheetah and 60 over injectors in. It's still a fun truck.

Whose 60 overs have you got in and how does it drive with them at stock-ish fueling level?

Sorry to hear about the crack. I started building a shortblock for this reason. Take my time with it so it's ready in the event I need it and the cost of swapping won't be ridiculous!

Sorry to see it, aggar. Good luck on the future build, hope you're able to pull it off some day.

 

[aggar]

Extrude hones. Haven't ran it near stock fueling levels.

Nice crack Ryan. That motor had what 86,???? miles on it, I think is what I seen when we fired it up with the new engine? The thing that blows me away is it had the crap beat out of it all summer, was street driven, and it cracks a piston when the dealership is test driving it. I just figured it would happen at the track I guess. But with these things you never know. I was running the exact same setup you were and never had a bit of trouble.

68k miles on it.

Sorry to hear was it number 6?

 

[aggar]

3rd back on Passenger side.

#5. Most are 3 and 6

Sorry to here man. Mine was #3. Hopefully firing the new motor this week. Been down for 8 months. A little homework can save a lot of money on a moderate build. Good luck on whatever you decide. Understand about the little one! They come first.

8 months

Yea. Long story short, USPS lost my turbo and injectors! Motor was done in October less these intems. My advise to anyone who ships anything, make sure you insure it for the replacement value (including core charges). My fault here.

Just curious as to why the dealership was test driving?

I was getting the truck serviced, Tranny flush, t-case and diffs. They were warming up the tranny for the additive. They couldn't have been hotrodding too much bc it was raining when i took it there and they called me later that afternoon when it happened. They were gonna try and warranty it but I didn't want to fight with GM when they came to look and saw the dual pumps.

ok I was just curious.
