Blew the fucking Engine today, need some Q's answered.
 

Ok, for a long time now I had a spun bearing, a bad oil pump and god knows what else, well its been like this for 2 months and today she finally went, I didnt really care too much because I have my swap that was almost ready, however I dont have my block posted yet, I think i'm gonna have to skip out on the posting, so my question is, is it really neccesary to post it if i'll be running 12 - 15 psi. I have LS rods, Vitata pistons proper fuel management and all the goodies, will be getting metal head gasket and ARP headstuds. so let me know thanks guys and wish me luck, i'll post carnage pics once I get the other engine out.

Will LS rods handle 15psi?

Re: Blew the fucking Engine today, need some Q's answered.
 

depends what turbo & how much power.

Re: Blew the fucking Engine today, need some Q's answered.
 

They should on a 1.6 liter with 8.5:1 CR I think i'll stick to 12 psi to be safe.

Re: Blew the fucking Engine today, need some Q's answered.
 

I've been running 12-14 psi on stock rods and pistons, don't be a -----.

Re: Blew the fucking Engine today, need some Q's answered.
 

1. my rings/pistons are not in that great of shape
2. i dont have a back up motor waitin for me.
