My new motor BLEW!

So comp claimed what you were doing was ok and it would handle it? COMP would be getting more phone calls. Have you found out what all was taken out?

really sorry to hear this dale. so what all do you need to rebuild? ive got some parts if you need, full lq9 rotating assy, (i know u cant use pistons) and some ls6 heads let us know, we're here to help :thumb:

If you want a 5.3 i have one I am selling. Just pulled it out last week with 125,000 miles. Nothing wrong with it. Im real close to you too, so i could take it to you.

I need to get this thing out of the garage...

PM for details if you are interested. I could make a deal if you can tune my newer 6.0???

All,

you cannot advance the cam by jumping teeth on the timming gear. you have to have an adjustable timing set. You advanced the cam a lot farther than 3*

this is from the person Dale bought his motor from..

Dale has a Comp cams adjustable roller timing set. He didn't just jump it one tooth. :laugh:

I used a comp double roller that had 3 key ways.Im not dumb enuff to jump teeth on a gear to retime the cam.and i know noone is saying i am...just making that clear

please dont shoot the messenger.. i am sorry it happened to you dale.

sorry.....didnt mean it that way....its bad enuff i screwed the pooch..just an open wound on top of being sick

When are you going to tear it down and find out what all was seriously damaged?

Ill try to do it this weekend....depends on how i feel!
