So I know this guy here in town that has given me a lot of grief for building my own motors and having so much trouble.Keeps saying I should have spent the 4 grand he did and have a pro do it. Well he just called me and guess what he sucked/broke a valve and he's blaming the builder. He has 30+ hours on the motor but he drives WOT all the time and likes bombing through rough water in a jet, you know all the bad things. And I kept telling him to ease up but what do I know.

I can't wait to hear the story after the builder tells him whats up :cry

I don't think any of the HDF members are the ignorant! That sounds like something that someone who has no idea what they are doing would say.

Lemme guess, either some rich old guy or a young punk?

Damn Kevin! I almost thought you were talking about me.

But at the same time I you know I wouldn't own a jet or pay someone to build me a motor.Although I let my good friend assemble my new one.

Hey now.I really don't remember the last time I blew a motor.I think it was about 15yrs ago in a super latemodel.It kept overheating and after 3 consecutive weekends we just let it go till the motor blew on purpose to find out what the problem was. :stupid

Had detonation holes in every piston.Turned out my machinist's bore gauge :beat

was off and the pistons were too tight.
