Keep us posted. And good luck with build. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

As of right now, my current rebuild plan is to use Manley pistons and rods, or go completely custom. But going custom means more downtime, which I don't want.

If I order the Manley pistons/rods, I can have my shortblock out and machined by next week and ready for re-assembly. I'd be looking at a 2 week turnaround time then another 1500 miles under 3k RPM for break-in.

Just my experience. I went totally contrary to what I was told. I was given a low boost map, around 7psi. I ended up switching my map to the Cobb stage 2 map because my idle was so low, the car kept shutting off. Anyway. I drove the car fairly normally. Revved to around 5500 rpm. Occasionally did some WOT pulls around 3 or 4 per day. Let the car decelerate on it's own. So far the motor runs great. Like I said, it's just my experience. If you search on line, I'm sure you'll find around 5 or more different philosophies on how to properly break in a new engine. I'm just suggesting that maybe you don't have to pussyfoot it around for 1,500 miles for your break in. Just a thought.

Sucks big time. I just did a complete rebuild a few months ago. Due for my tune in a few weeks. Funny. Even though my motor is built, I feel nervous about really pushing it. As if something bad were,going to happen. Never felt that way with my original motor. Anyways. Here's wishing u the best on ur latest go around. FYI. I went with Cosworth pistons. .1400 miles at 16psi. So far so good.

I banned him on NASIOC as well. Didn't want members there getting bitten as well.

 

Now, I'm watching to see he don't register under another SN and recommend the same be done here.

Hey Leonardo. Not to thread jack, but I may be moving down to "Whorelando" soon and was wondering if you could pm me any places to get work done and/or parts. Thanks in advance.
