Anyone got a cheap 402/408 laying around they don't need? I killed the LS1 shortblock. Number seven piston crapped out and took the cylinder finish with it. Sure, I can resleeve it but why when I could just buy someone's engine that is just sitting around and not getting used. :smile:
BTW, Brandon, your friggin rain cloud has been over my truck too long! Come take it back! :cry:

I thought that truck was gone that time in Temple when you had bent the throttle body lip. And then the second time it happened again? I will ask around. I had a friend that told me he had an LQ9 sitting out of a caddy. I will see if he still has it.Quote:

Whatever I get has to have some forged nitrous pistons installed or I'll repeat it again. N20 is an addiction. :nx:
Damn Greg, what shot are you running? I know guys spraying a 150 all day long with no problems running stock lower ends. Are you retarding the timing when you spray? Something just doesn't sound right. What kind of setup are you using? Forged pistons will definetely help now that you're installing another block but I'd pull the plugs everytime you spray just to determine what's happening and log your pass so you can make the necessary adjustments so this won't happen again. My old vortec lived a long life and the pistons are still good in it and that was a 150 shot 2 to 3 times a week. Richard at Strictly Performance can vouch for that because he filled most of my bottles.
200 shot finished it off. It's still got another 100 in it. :laugh: The only thing retarded was the driver. Gotta get my own tuning software I guess, then I can reduce the timing when at the track. I miss my LS1Edit software. This was the first time to spray it with the new jets. It ran like a scalded ape but started smoking and the run was only about 5 seconds long. Maybe it leaned out? Don't know. Two brand new plugs bit the dust.
LOL That will do it. You better get a titanium block this time!
Get one of those new wet sleeve blocks that are like diesel engines where you just replace liners by hand when needed.
