WTF? Bro, you can't just leave us hanging like that. What happened?
BigRed460's build thread
- Thread starter BigRed460
- Start date
Cant say for sure, pistons tried to seize in the bore. Not sure why, doesn't look like it go hot.
That sucks, Dude. Hope they make it right with you. When are they going to look at it?

Damn bro that sux! 
Doesn't look like toast in pics though? I could see rings being toast, but pistons, block, and cylinder walls didn't look bad.
Who is the builder if you don't mind?

What made you think everything is bad. Got me worried over here
The cylnder walls feel like sand paper half way around, builder will rename nameless for the time being.Damn bro that sux!

I dont think our issues are the same, I had metal every where in the motor. It finally stuck a valve open, I though because of a bad lifter. Now I think the bore was off or something causeing execisive wear and metal shavings to go everywhere. The motor is literally full of metal shavings from intake to oil pan. No signs of wear other that the walls of the cylinder.
Ill post some pictues of the shavings after lunch.

I'm betting it has to do with offset crank and pistons but people have done this for a decade:dontknow:
That's what happens though is it changes geometry and forces pistons against one side of cylinder wall versus evenly distributed.
This really sux as the mile starts Thursday correct?
I may be in that neck of the woods soon and would be glad to lend a hand if needed bud.
I'd take that bet. Many production engines have much more severe rod angles, with far inferior oiling systems, and they live. I'm betting its a crooked lifter bore, or blockage in an oil galley. Sucks either way.

Not trying to ask a question that seems dumb, but did the builder wash the block thoroughly before assembly? It's either ring material throughout engine from pressure exerted on one side of cylinder bore, or there was leftover shavings from machining that went through the block. Oil pressure was good I assume? Looks kinda dry in there unless you wiped it all down?
I'd be happy to show you everything, the mile is way out of the question. I will be there next march.
I had a another builder just look at it with me he says that there is only three possiblibltys by looking at it. Ring gap was wrong, piston clearance was wrong, or it ws ran with no water. I know it had water and that it was pumping so that only leaves the other two.

Justin can hook you up a custom grind that won't break the bank. Heads too if you have a set to send him.
Justins cam sounded awesome till the motor tried to seize....

So sorry this happened. Just sucks. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
They really means this, there are a lot of guys here that will bend over backwards to help you in any way they can. Anything you need at all, just ask and the VTCoA will do what we can.
Are you reusing the stock heads? (Nothing to do with your problem, just curious)
Thank guys, it sucks but it is what it is, I'll rebuild her again.
running truck +15k = blown up truck.
Yes i am running stock (ported) heads.
WOW that SUCKS BIG TIME.. would have been nice to see you run here down the Mile . I would have loved to see your results, ...
Hope they take care of you...
