It's official, original LS motor final blew...
 

well. 170k+ miles on the bitch. 10k+ boosted miles, and 9 months of fun has finally come to an end. i went out to some local street races tonite and things jus didn't feel right, 2 runs and the bitch gave up. tickin after the race, then boom on the ride home, 2 hour wait for tow truck. xtra ls motor in the garage, gonna have it in hopefully by next week and its gonna stay NA for a while. gonna keep the turbo kit for a future project i guess... i think it went cuz the rings were already gone, it was burning oil like krazee, still pulled okay so i kept racin it, then pop. ill take pics of the karnage when i take it apart maybe this weekend, jus wanted to share.

do a leak down test, it could just be your hg, which you could change in an hour or so instead of swapping the whole motor, don't always assume the motor's done for ;)

When my motor blew I said I was going to leave my new one NA for a while, now I'm considering putting the turbo on immediately. :)

kevin, the motor's TOAST lol. trust me, its my secod motor and the bitch wont crank, i think it snapped a rod cuz there's no exit holes... i tried to pop start it drivin down the freeway and all i could hear was metal clankin nooises. i knew it was gonna happen cuz it started feeling slower n slower after each race then pop... i think the hg's been fucked up lol. i kept havin over heatin troubles but i jus put my fan's on constant. i had 2, 1 to push and 1 that pulls. new ---- in the works, ill keep you guys posted.

that sucks. I keep wanting to go out and rip on my ----, but it's just a base map and I don't want to have to walk 5-10 miles home because I wanted to feel the full boost.

i ripped on it for 6 months on a basemap. the basemap was fine, my motor was jus a piece of ---- and the pistons were gone a long time ago.
