Think Engine just threw a rod or something???

I've been told that gas loses it's octane value over time and that's where the potential issues could arise when getting into boost with old fuel.

Brent is awesome , I'm 100% positive it wasn't tune issues. Just want to figure it out. They have always done me great. We will have a plan and maybe build it bigger.

any updates?

My bet is bad fuel, combined with cooler air and more boost.

They are getting into it on Monday. We are all eager to see what happened, what needs to be fixed and what I am willing to spend

I cant stop thinking about going to mechanic school so I can learn more, I feel so dumb not knowing what happened.

One other thing, I forgot to post I also have 10% Underdrive pulley too

 

[CodyK7]

Don't feel bad. It doesn't sound like you did anything. This scares me though.

 

[R.D.P.]

Make sure they take pics and send them to you so you can post here.

I feel your pain. I had a local very well known tuner/engine builder tune and install cat back, upper pulley and other little items on my 12 gt500. Last year after leaving the local hang out, it was cold out and I jumped on it in 2nd grear and popped a piston. Till this day, no way to know what caused it. . Towed it to brenspeed where they did the FRPP short block, lower pulley amd a few other things. Stock blower it makes a tad over 600 and the tune is awesome. Car runs and drives stock. Brenspeed did a great job.

Any updates from the review with Brenspeed ?

 

[Harry08]

I wonder if an oil separator was on his engine? That could possibly account for blow by causing octane loss along with cold temps increasing boost and a 10% under drive pulley buzzing things up. The companies selling the separators claim potential problems if blow by is not controlled???

 

[einehund]

i don't think you are understanding the oil seperator... without one, blow by is not controlled and can decrease octane (by a slight bit, not by much, unless you are having other problems). The seperator REMOVES oil particulate and prevents this octane loss.

You cant look to see if there's a hole in your block or not?

Any updates?

Any updates on this BIGYUSM?

 

[ericmuscle]

how about an update???????? maybe he was trolling?

 

[08KR525]

UPDATE? Maybe it was all bs.

 

[Joewee500]

Maybe there's no update. He may be trying to get funds to do the rebuild or the shop hasn't been able to get to his car fast enough. My car has been down 3 months because the rebuild process depends on so many different people coming together.

 

[ShelbyGT5HUN]

Even an update of "its not been touched yet, still waiting for xyz", would be an update.
