women? THAT was a front. He's got you fooled.Along with his wife.

I am no engine expert(amateur, novice, infant, or whatever), and quiet frankly...I have no idea here, but the burn pattern on top of 1 and 5 look interesting. Like they were hot spotting. Another thing, with all of the meth you burn in that F-er, I was expecting cleaner piston tops. But again, I wouldn't know.

That expains alot... Like when Dusty asked me "Have you ever slept with a guy?" and I replied "Hell no!!!" then he replied " Yeah,me neither..." rather suspiciously.

But seriously I was expecting to see more when we pulled the head. 1 and 5 has a rediculous amount of air blowing past the rings during the leakdown. The cylinder walls look excellent. Its hard to believe the engine is worn out with that few of miles. Even for a PROSTOCK Chevy Silverado.

that explains why you just let him do all the work then. I wouldn't get near that **** either. "Accidently" bumping in to you and all. "Ooops, sorry about that, it's tight in here."

Thanks for the heads up DEWMANCHU!! Come to think of it he was "accidently" sitting on the hood latch waaayyy to often.

Alright *******, that’s not funny. First off Steven, you said you wasn't going to tell anyone about my pants getting cought on the hood latch. I couldn't get OFF. LMAO And Second. Dewey. I got your c/ds today. you know, the ones with the nude pics of you.... and thank you sir...

And as I recall, Steven, YOU were not doing any work because you were to busy starring at my ***, while I was working. And what about all those comments you made about me looking hot when I got a little dirty?

As far as the engine and meth goes, I've been driving it for three months with no meth what so ever. I can understand the engine rings getting tired, but only on one or two cylinders?

I thought I'd update this thread for the very few that will use the search button.....


Well I guess you know you push her a bit too far when you not only break one piston, but FOUR pistons.............









The pistons have been sitting on a shelf for about a month, when today while changing my wifes oil, a saw a shinny spot on one of the ring lands. then with a seal pic I pulled the pieces out of each piston..

Nice, but does anyone else find it ironically suspicious that at least three of the fractures were in almost the same exact spot???

They are all in the same or very close to the same spot. But some were upper, ring land, some lower and a couple both.. Does anyone have any theories???

maybe your slugs are rocking at BDC and the boost amplified it, i am thinking a casting defect in the sleeve, like its off a few degrees enough to let the slug come out of the hole just a smidge to much

did this motor have CSK???
