Well I had the Dmax loaded and headed to the woods to go moose hunting with a buddy of mind who got his moose license this year, didn't make it 30 min from my house and while passing a truck going up a hill on the four lane, white smoke started pouring out of the stack:thumbsdown:, so I pull over, shut it down and popped the hood, no visible leaks but I could smell coolant, started the truck again for a second and it was idling really rough, so I shut it down, called a tow truck and called my mechanic, Tom at Fine Tuning Performance, he said to take off the oil filler cap, start the motor and see if there was any pressure................well it was puffing like a choo-choo train:eek: then I noticed oil on the ground ( though I had windowed the bock) but it was coming out the PVC reroute, still not good....Well not the end of the world, I was planing on building a motor and I have a complete spare LLY and a set of Carrillo's, now I just have to gather up a few more bits and pieces.......the only real decision I need to make is whether to go with cut LLY pistons or go forged>>>>>:confused:

I won't know till we open it up, I going to build my other motor first and do the swap, then tear down the blown motor, with the way it was idling and the pressure coming out the oil fill neck...........not good, but mabey the kick in the ass I needed to build a motor:)

17pt Bull, the 4 quarters weighed 635lbs ( without, head, hide,hoofs, guts):D

Now the real work begins, do you cut up your own meat? I spend a full weekend butching and making sausage just on an elk every year. About half the size of a big bull moose!

After the time it took us just to get the hide off, we took it to the pros:eek:, (local meat shop that does almost all of the wild game taken in the area), Lots of steaks, roast, and sausages to come:D, took the sting out of killing my Dmax too..................:rolleyes:

Well my buddy Ben (Ben46a) is headed west and that put is engine build on hold, so he was good enough to help me out with some of the parts he had in inventory, So I now have................

Carrillo Rods
.040 over 16-1 pistons
Chrome- moly push rods
GM C gaskets
ATI Dampener
ARP head and main studs
Spearco Intercooler
Flex-a-lite fans

I will also be adding a
LBZ CP3 with a modded regulator
Cheetah VVT turbo(Brayden already has my core)


FYI what I'm already running
MPI gen I twins
Kerma 30% injector tips
MITUSA high pressure lift pump
BD manifold

So here we go...........................:D
