Damn, thanks for the load down

guess i wont be making it to the track this season.

i midest well start saving to build up my bottom end.

also the first reply said my motors gone.....
thats not true is it.....cause with a simple rebuild it would be back on its feet right

its always something............

yeah, some pistons and rings will take care of it, and more than likely need a good hone if the broken pieces scarred up the cylinder walls. definitely salvageable though. if you plan on boosting in the future, you may as well replace the piston's and rods with forged pieces while you have it all apart, if not, this WILL happen again, sometime, almost guranteed

Yea...didn't wanna break it to you over AIM but its your rings. It happens just rebuild and boost it again. You can't really complain tho u gave that motor hell...and how many bottles of nitrous has it seen haha? i think she served you very well ... I'll try to keep my motor alive and avenge you on the track

lol....

thanks Mid.
yeah im not trippen that hard off it tho, just time for rebuild, im diff gona get low compression pistons and rod thats a certain.

also just for my knowledge......

n e one know why a fired ring would cause the smoke to come out the breather hole

like was that smoke or just pressure/steam.....is it from oil burning and sqeezing pass the pistons?

projekteg

yeah, if the rings/ringlands are broken/fried/toasted/etc., then oil gets up passed them and in to the combustion chamber

boostman101

so thats why my oil pressures reading low?

also thank u all for the help to

jhmcrx

my car has lots of blow-by with no smoke AND sometimes oil squrits thu the dipstick
are my rings gona go soon? ( sorry boostman for jackin the spotlight for a sec )

warric_k

if you're lucky it's just one cylinder.

if you're not, you're in my boat.

anyone have a p8r head?

Nephew had same problem with oil shooting out of dipstick hole... and oil fill hole....
Had burned a hole in the piston.
Happened all at once though. The whole motor was coated.
Do a compression check... It will reveal quite a bit.
Just get a rental from AutoZ@@@

for certian your rings/ringlands are gone. mine did the same thing.
