What color is the oil?

 

So whats the details?

 

Damn that is bad news. Interested to see what you find.

 

No details yet. Got it in the garage and went to eat dinner. A visual inspection of under the hood was unremarkable though. I'll try and work on it a bit after work.

 

Text send to KBracing yesterday 5:47 pm "engine just let go"...what happened? "dont know. sounds like it dropped a valve."



today:





I honestly didn't think I would have a failure before I even went WOT lol. Haven't even had the damn thing over 3k rpm or 5 psi.

 

Who's springs? Piston made love to the valve to didnt it. Shitty luck bro.

 

Damn that sucks. How many miles are on those springs?

 

Been there done that. Got a similar picture from the same hole on the opposite side. My valve totally disappeared though lol

 

they're PAC singles.

Gonna pull the head to see if there's any remote chance the shortblock is reusable. The spark plug for that cylinder was intact.

I'm already pondering what motor to throw in next, anything from a junkyard 5.3 to something built.

 

Damn it that sucks! Were they the 1518's? I know Pat G specs a lot of cams (EPS lobes) to use that spring.
