We get the fueling issue fixed and you take it out and blow it up on us:rolleyes: Geez, Larry and I had high hopes for that low 12 run! Damn Lilly's,:rofl: Those engines sure do love to pop piston's!!

I'll come by later to check out the carnage:D

Keep your head up, we'll get er fixed;) I think you can purchase the compression tester at China Town for 20bucks.

I think we should start a poll on what # piston it was:D My pic is #4.

did you try to pull any codes, is there any white smoke, it seems a lot of the cracked piston talk of white smoke pouring from the exhaust, I'd want to vote turbo for now until you tear into it. Sorry to hear of any problems though, I'm sure there is more than one of us in line behind you :(

I havent started pullin stuff apart yet to see how bad the others look, probably not good either. I plan on havin the motor out in a week or so. I'll be takin alot of pics during the whole process for people who might be in my shoes one day or even now. The build will include .040 over socal pistons, cam, havin stock heads ported localy, lbz runners and y-bridge, and possibly a turbo.:D Most likely the lift is comin out too.
