Re: dead engine

WOW, that sure sucks. I have had something like that happen twice with me and my Sy. Had engine rebuilt 2X's, by 2 seperate builders, and never made it home before it lost oil pressure.

Re: dead engine

so far it looks like it's pushing coolant out of a cylinder , no coolant in oil or vice versa . pull plugs in a couple day's .

Re: dead engine

Damn Jeffery, Sounds like your motor was a bad ass mammajamma to just blow one out the side of the motor. :lol: When are you going to fix everything? You and Cheaty need to get down here and help me with my plumbing once it all gets here:tup: Let me know if you need any help getting that thing apart or back together. Should be a pretty easy fix. You plan on doing both sides?

If I were you I would go with what everyone else does, Cometic. If your block or heads are o-ringed, go with SCE Titans.
