I'm not here to accuse anyone of anything, first and formost!.......This is just what happened to me, and are nothing but the facts! Read the mail that I sent out to a couple of the mentioned folks below. Was something not built correctly? Should I have trusted buying an engine off of here? Do I feel like kicking myself in the a$$....that would be a yes!.......Read below and you be the judge........
Jeff (65MalibuSS),
FYI.............I put in the engine that I had bought from you (the one you got from TurboV6sonoma, the one with zero miles on it that he had in his truck. The one that his Builder "D'Wayne" built). See the first picture below. It ran beautifully, had great oil pressure and all. After less than 200 miles of crusing I turn the boost all the way down to about 14#. I take it up to 14 then boom....no knock...just a rod coming out the side of my engine. That fast, no warning, just BOOM and smoke. 14 # should have never thrown a rod. I'm no Rookie with these TR's either. Not saying that anything is your fault here, just stating the facts.....See the result in the second picture below. I'm furious right now, and there is not $hit that I can do but suck it up I guess!
