Engine is finall done, should be coming home in a few days. Here is the Dyno sheet...

Well, my motor is finally going back together. For what it's worth, my engine builder recommends Mobil 1 15w50 oil.

Still waiting on my rebuilt engine, supply chain problems getting parts. They finally have everything and it should be going together this week (it's been 12 weeks). While the motor is out, thought it would be a good time to address a trans issue. Every once in a while when comming off the...

Got a bunch of pictures back from my engine builder. As I already knew, it definitely swallowed something (still don't know what it was or where it came from). They also found 8 worn rockers & pushrods, all will be replaced. Luckily the heads will be fine with a small cut.

Dropped my engine off on Tuesday. I was like a kid in a candy store, V-10's everywhere, Vipers, trucks, engines. Bad new is 8 -10 week turnaround.

Me Too..

Thanks Yes, a dyno session is included with the rebuild. Prefix is the premiere Viper engine builder in the country, they are the ones who built the engines for Dodges Viper race team.

Engine is out, I'm driving it to Prefix in Michigan for a complete rebuild. It's getting forged pistons & rods, hotter cam, lifters, springs, etc.

Engine is almost out...

I I've heard that Gen 3's are known for knocking off the top ring land on the cast pistons.

I found a small piece of steel in the intake, not sure where it came from. I'm in the process of pulling the motor, to do a autopsy. (It's about 1/4 in long)

Trying to find your post, do you have a link?

I got that out of the Dodge manual.

Hey Ronnie, What spark plug would you recommend? I've been using the Champ RC12Ecc

Thanks a bunch as usual Ronnie. I did find part of the problem last night. I changed the oil and ran it through a paint strainer, fortunately nothing was in there. But, while underneath the truck, I noticed all the bolts were missing or loose from my collectors. Two of the nuts were gone, and...

Hey Ronnie, the top of the piston did have what looked like little marks in it, would that be the "Tune"?

So far I've checked all the rockers, can't find anything unusual. I put a scope in all cylinders (except #9, very hard to get at) and again don't see anything wrong. The only thing I found is a bad spark plug, don't know how it happened. It's wasn't really damaged, but the ground strap was...

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iApLaPTvuZY Took it for a ride around the block and gave it a little rip, maybe 4K and then started clacking. Definitely sounds like top end, maybe a bent push rod or broken rockers.

I decided to split the difference, had Torrie bump it to750, also removed the TB and adjusted it on the bench, definitely running better.

Good, Thanks
