Message: [QUOTE="vanderchevy18, post: 295118, member: 569"] I think y'all are taking my blown engine too personally. LOL It could have been a combination of things. I mean look at it like this. All of us pushing a stock bottom end to this power level are playing with fire. I welcomed it with open arms. Read my original build thread and I openly accepted the challenge of keeping it alive. In fact I pretty much turned it into a game of seeing how quickly I could blow it! LOLLOLLOL I still haven't had the time to pull it and look it over yet. When i do it'll answer a lot of questions. I'm not a tuning guru. I couldn't care less about the slightest aspect of tuning. I trust cale with it. I told him I don't care how he does the tuning, because he knows what's best. I still take that approach. He tuned it so the best person to talk to is Cale. I'll text him and see what he can add to this. If this is a learning experience for him, then good! I am more than happy to take a hit for the advancements of stock block tuning. If it was something else, then good for that too. That means he did his job very well. We won't know any of that though until its opened up and inspected. If its a rod I'll see if cale WANTS to change anything and if not I'll just not beat on it quite as hard. If its a wrist pin then I'll chalk it up to a manufacturing defect or something. If its the piston then maybe I'll try to keep from pegging out my egt gauge quite so often. Haha!! Hell I'm still thinking its a faulty water Meth nozzle dribbling into the intake! I just need to get it apart, do some checking, and find out. I'm still gonna fix it. I'm still gonna run a stock block. And I'm still loving life. I love the interest y'all are taking in it and I really do appreciate the comments and suggestions. It keeps giving me ideas and new approaches to the truck. I'll update you guys when i finally get er apart. [/QUOTE]
