Mike if their is anything I can do let me know.

 

Did you have head studs?

 

Sorry to hear that. What mods do you have?

Yeah, what are the mods?

Also, how did you diagnose it? Was there anything that occurred that may have caused it? Did you drive it real hard before it happened? You know, educational info.

Good luck

 

His signature is . . . . 431hp-20psi/pump gas.

 

Ohh, I see, #'s like that need to be bold, I just wondered what may cause this to happen now I do - I guess. Sorry to hear the problem, hope you get it fixed without trouble

 

My mods are 2.3 stroker, magnus intake mani with tb/ IC upgrade /Injectors/Headstuds/AEM-uego/57 trim turbo.Rs TC,triple disk clutch, exhaust, dp, no cat/sfp exhaust mani/perrin mbc/boost gage/hks dli.

It is to long story to tell. I will say this. I let my car warm up (started fine idled great) went into the house and came out about 15 mins later and the idle was fluctuating. So I looked around and saw some fluid seeping on the passenger side where the motor mount attaches to the engine. I shut it off and went to watch Nascar and have afew beers.

I have only driven my car 1000 miles with the new motor/clutch. It was broken in only running 10 lbs of boost for 400-600 miles (2 oil changes durning that time). Well I took it somewhere else to get looked at drove to work then home total 300 miles. 2 weeks ago I did the same thing let it warm up ect. and my serpentine belt started to come apart. I replaced the belt and drove it to the store and back maybe 10 miles. I did not boost at all. I have been paranoid ever since I got it back with the new motor. Now I did the same thing today (my son took my other car and I needed cigs which started this all....

I do not beat my car, I have never (since the stroker/clutch) taken it over 6500 except for the dyno runs at both shops.My stock clutch lasted 49k-it is (was) my daily driver.

My paranoia may have saved me a new motor.

 

Thanks, like wise.

 

Which serpentine belt came off? Could it have been the one that spins your water pump? If so, that could have overheated your engine and warped your block or head.

My belt did not come off. It had a thread which started to come off (never left my garage and I shut it off before it had a chance to tear apart, Buscherpower was at my house and saw it.One of the idler pullies was loose which was causing the belt to go off track.

 

ah ok... Have you contacted whoever assembled your engine? Or did you do it yourself?

 

No I have not contacted anyone, I could write a book but won't, I hate to type.
Right now I am just so pissed I did all this work (I initially had 343hp and the car ran great for 30k as my daily driver. Now I sink 12k for the stroker/clutch/TC/turbo upgrade ect. since August. I have only put about 3k since then (as stated before 1k on motor and clutch, TC/turbo were done in the summer)due to issues and down time for the installs ect.

 

I hate to say it, but that's not entirely uncommon. I hear it all time time for people who had their engines built. It's seems like the more extreme one goes with the engine, the less chance it has of getting through the first 5k miles trouble-free. Either they make funny noises, or drink copious amounts of oil, or start mechanically failing. This happens all the time but we rarely hear it mentioned on the forum. Unfortunately, it's an expensive and time consuming process I'm sorry that it had to happen to you...

 

Yeah I know this, you play you pay. I checked my coolant and it is fine. Hopefully it is only a headgasket.

Thanks If you want more info send me a PM and I will give you my number.

Mike
