[QUOTE="///m3, post: 8328481, member: 15028"] Looks like I blew the motor in the wife's car at Sebring this past weekend. The motor had a strange tick at the end of the day on Saturday, sounded like a lifter. Anyways, took it out for the instructors session and after a puff of smoke and a loss of power, I pulled it into the pits. It didn't sound good. Looks like I lost piston 1 came apart with zero compression and #3 only has 60psi, but haven't figured out why yet. Oh yeah, and the supercharger puked all of it's oil into the intake track, but that's another thread... Are there any must do reliability mods, other than cooling, to perform during the engine rebuild? I've already got all the cooling mods one can do, and it seems to run cool enough. The only one I can think of is a baffled oil pan, if someone makes one. Any others? Different oil pump? [/QUOTE]
