Blackie spun a rod bearing….

My Son’s ( JollyGood) 470 needs some attention to find what went south , knocking on the door pretty good. First drain it’s fluids, remove all the accessories, then pull it.

 

bummer !

 

Ouch!

 

Always something........... Sorry to hear this....

 

Good luck! Are you going to drop the "display"engine in?

 

I think no, it would be going down in power lol. But this one makes 540hp so we’re thinking might go for more by porting the heads.

 

Build it, break it, build it again….The way of cars if ya want to go faster.

 

That’s my philosophy

 

Removed, without incident I might add.

 

I have to chuckle cause your pic there looks like my scenario in my garage, the engine on a stand next to the car
Good luck on your findings/repairs

 

Yea it is a familiar sight for me too.

 

Making slow progress.

 

We’re thinking of making a Stage 2, anybody got an ORIGINAL Stage 2 cam?

 

Next stop Machine shop and see what the damages are going to be….

 

Yes show some carnage

 

I don’t want to show but I will, it was pretty bad, #3,4,5 main’s pretty bad all showing a lot of copper. Only #4 rod bearing was bad pretty much. Crank was 10/10 so we’ll just wait and see what the Machinists says. Not too hopefull, but the scratches on the crank feel like the bearing took the majorly of abuse.

 

OUCH!
Lossed oil pressure?

 

Hell yes!

 

Makes you sick to see this kind of thing..
