Lmao!

Biggie that would actually be funny as hell! If we can get the moderators on board, i'd be down. The **** talking does happen regardless, it's just inside peoples threads. The problem is most blown engines in this thread were stock when they blew and there is no fair way to gaurantee that equal amounts of people from all engines builders see this thread.

It's good reality check/reminder of the 10/80/10 rule. 10% fail, 80% are average, and 10% are exceptional.

1 in South Africa 3 months ago...
Was 2.3L with oem 64 crank... spun bearing #2 and rod was damaged.

Changed to 2.2 long rod, now waiting for assembly. If this one goes I will sell the car.
