| Quote (AZKC @ July 05 2005,10:38 am) | Got his motor back from his builder in PHX. Put it in Saturday. Broke the cam in Saturday night. Went to the lake on Sunday morning. Idled out of the No Wake and got about 5 minutes down the lake and blew it up  Â  Had good oil pressure and was running cool he says. It was a .100 over 454 with about a 570 lift cam. Boy I wouldn't want to be on the other end of the phone call he makes this morning  Â Â  |
Damn that sucks, another quality AZ shop You know who it is??, maybe I know who they are!. 
What happened, a cylinder let go? A .100 over is pushing it on a late stock factory block and if they didn't sonic check it first some of the cylinders could be really thin!..

| Quote (AZKC @ July 06 2005,8:26 am) | Desert Cylinder Head and Machine I believe. Guys name is George. They did sonic ck the block. I'm thinking valve train had a failure. But it could be a piston/bore problem I guess He said he had plenty of oil pressure so that kinda eliminates the bottom end but a piston could have broke a wall Â
Why do you need a .100 over race motor in a family jet  Save it for an 18ftr  |
Ahh yes, Desert Cylinder Head That would be George Tunell, never met him but I heard some stories about that place, tell your buddy not to feel like The Lone Ranger!..

Those are expensive trips to the lake. I added up the amount of money I spent on my last boat and divided it by the number of trips I took with it and.... Â Â

| Quote (AZKC @ July 10 2005,8:35 am) | | Well GFR you were right, a piston broke through the cylinder wall and then stuffed itself into the head. Â So much for sonic testing the block that he said he did |
Yep that's what I figured, as soon as you mentioned .100 over and who did it I was 99 3/4% sure what happened!.
