Thread: Engine damage

Looks like #7 piston is missing a small piece. I couldnt find the piece so I used some JB weld and fabbed up a patch. I'm gonna let it dry a few hours and then start it up.
Seriously I think I'm gonna get a new short block, have my heads checked out, and put it back together. Probably need new seals and guides for the heads, saw oil on top of a couple valves. Maybe I'll get new heads too. This shit is sounding expensive, guess no fab9 this year.

damn that sucks man...sorry to hear that...

jb weld lol that would be manly... but not seeing it holding lol..

time to build..

or find a slug to throw back in there and run it... i just might know where there are some stock rods and pistons that will be coming out soon...

Haha Travis. I tried to patch a hole in my exhaust once and the JB weld just burnt right off.

lol thats funny...

the motor has mahle pistons and eagle rods. I guess I could get a piston and slap it in there and hope for the best, but seeing as I shift at ~7k I'm not sure I wanna do that. Maybe stroker but probably stay stock cubes.

eagle H beams? just get some pistons hone is out and run it...


or buy tonys block and pistons and have a 370 ready for boost...

lots of paths you could take

ive got some stock pistons and rods from an LS1.. if you wanted to just slap it back together..

malhe pistons,yuck,those things suck.

the JB weld didnt work so I decided to just disconnect the spark plug and injector on that cylinder. Fuckin car runs again. I tried putting some licorice in the dam piston and that didnt work, somehow that lead me to the idea of disconnecting stuff. Actually I bought an engine hoist so I can pull the dam block. Not going to have a solid plan until I find out if my heads/block are any good. I sense a new thread in my future. One good thing about this whole broke engine thing is it gives me something to post about.
