pleiades Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Better clean up that oil! Mike's gonna scream! lol... So I guess I see what you did today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Ok, more work done. Look at the table! Here is the 1-3 side. Looks like blowby for sure on the one on the right....looks like the other one was ready to give up. Looks like the Mobil 1 Synthetic did its job in keeping the engine clean! The 2-4 side. Looks pretty normal to me. A closeup. Looks like tuesday will be the next time I can really mess with it...start cleaning up the turbo block and heads...and slap it together.

ccrinc Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 A turbo with SPFI pistons?????? Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Yes. The block had about 80k-100K miles on it, and then as a last minute thing, just the get the car on the road, i slapped that one under all the factory turbo stuff. Lasted 23k miles before cyl #1 started to breakdown...evidently the rings failed or something...and i drove it HARD everyday. I would do it again with the other block I have, its go about 50K-60K miles on it, and it was in better condition overall. But as a temp engine, for some experimental testing purposes...a stock turbo block is going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually have one cabinet in stock right now. Its $75 (at least thats the price i paid, might be a little more now). Want me to ship it to you?
