Engine build. What to do?

[Cknight199]

I can get everything done thru randy billing is just done at ii on my part for randy to make it easy for him these days.

So should I contact randy or go through you or industrial?

Did you pop your motor or what? I know it'd be nice to have a built motor and all but why not run her till she goes?? This is just me but if I were in your shoes i'd throw a good set of 40% overs in to back the PW and timing down and run her around 650. It may last a day or several years like that but also save you lots of $$. 600-650 is a lot of fun and 10k for 200 more hp seems kinda crazy unless you have the money or the motor is hurt. That's just my opinion bud :thumb:

That totally depends on if you can be without your truck for a month or two while you build the engine.
Also, the problem with "popping it" is that you never know exactly what's going to be damaged when it "pops". Windowing a perfectly good block or scoring cylinders will look pretty stupid if you could've built it right beforehand. Just sayin'...

That's where a good spare block comes in handy

I got lucky and just scuffed my cylinder wall, but I'm gonna build it since I've got it apart. Cracked it right down the middle

You recently do this Quinton?

Randy will not help you he does not deal direct anymore. So you go thru someone like me or go thru ii and pay higher.

I wouldn't get heads or pushrods

Depends if I want to push it hard enough and risk damaging my block.
