DSM's LOL

Recommended Posts

Of all the motors I've destroyed over years, this was likely the least exciting when it went. It took a dump on the first pass at IFO in August. Did a little poking around here and there to diagnose it, then finally pulled the head today,

 

At the track. 2 or 3 quarts everywhere...

So back in will go another junkyard short block, I'll clean up the chamber a bit and play with a new heat rejection coating I ordered in for combustion chambers, and the camshafts. Yay me.

In it's own defense this motor has been whored out more than Phil in county lock up. It's earned a break. And I haven't exactly been gentle. In the Summit it made 380+whp for 5 years, and the tuner ran this motor in his 1G before that at 450+whp for years. Bone stock other than BSE kit, and ARP head studs, junkyard head.

 

If there was a pattern would be they'll take a ton of abuse, and make power. And gloriously take a exit.

She was mumbling as she walked away. Something about mechanical asshole, and she actually used the term douchebagery.

 

My wife is getting worried I am looking at stuff for my build. She keeps talking about getting a bedroom set in return for me putting money in the car...

Being a Motor head, and married has just become official man. Something Jones will never know until same sex marraige is legalized in Ohio.
