BUILD THREAD 86 GP 2+2~Blown 6.0

[Texas82GP]

Head gasket looks good. No signs of lifting, it was still stuck down nice.

LSA MLS with chyna studs from 2014.

Chyna bad. Just trying to add some levity. Bummer that it's so bad but I guess that's part of racing.

Pulled the passenger head, pan, and pistons out last night

Autopsy says
-expensive holley pan-needs welding, pickup tube is bent, dented and scrap
-windage tray is scrap
-my BTR blower cam is scrap, thats a tough pill to swallow
-4 of the 7 remaining Pistons have really bad skirt damage
-block has a really deep gouge in the cylinder wall and probably caused some risk of cracking, I don't see a sleeve being worth it
-#3 and #5 rods are bent
-2 cups of piston kibble scraped out of the bottom of the pan

#5 piston was .040 in the hole but all the others besides 3 I guess were fine

Good news
The crank is salvageable
The top rings were loose, 2nd compression ring was sticky but loosened up easily
No crushed ring lands
Bearings looked good especially considering it pumped a ton of crap in the pan

So my tune was likely ok, I just over powered and fatigued the gen 3 rods.

I killed it good

Not sure if you need a hug or a high five.

A hug with a 'you did good' pat on the back will be sufficient
