^^^ those guys have a good points too.

Your sure you didn't go over 13 psi??

Possibly overtightened the oil filter?

Just lightening the mood

So what’s the plans for the 6 door? Take the rotating assembly and transplant it into the new block?

 

[IDIoit]

ive got a decent running IDIT im going to transplant over the course of the week.
not gonna be anything special.
if this block decides to **** the bed, ill be ditching the IDI all together.
will be on the search for a DT360

Am wondering why the rod windowed the block??? Even non turbo rods are strong enough for the boost pressure you get up to.

I do really like the roller rockers but look pricey for my account. Make?? Have not looked back on your build.

ive driven this truck every day for the past 2 years on this engine.
no more than 8 psi
it was time for a oil change, but still had the correct levels, and never dropped oil pressure.
i dont recall any heavy abuse before this issue started.
but of course i drove it pretty fierce.
it started out as a top end tick.
which now i know was a spun rod bearing.
i am truly amazed how quick it went from a spun bearing to a thrown rod.
i was not driving it when the rod went,
it happened on shut down after i had let it sit at 1500-2k for a few seconds.

the silver lining is that ive had this truck all up and down california, san diego to humboldt county...
trip to idaho, and that it ended up having a catastrophic failure at home is mind boggling.

i should have just pulled it from the gate, but i was determined to fix it.
well that determination just went a different route lol

this was a "back up engine" that had nothing but new gaskets.
that i installed after my "build" experienced a crack on #2 main web.
due to a stud spinning on torque sequence.

Yeah for sure! Amazing. Murphy was sleeping in that day...

When the bottom end gets an issue, it doesn’t take long. Travis had a knock start in the enterprise, sitting at a traffic light. The light changed and he was trying to get out of the middle of the road, it didn’t make it through the intersection before he had parts bouncing off the asphalt. From the start of the knock to scattered was less than 2 minutes. The top end may knock for years on one of these, the bottom end, maybe minutes, if you are lucky......

This is one reason, I normally have the thought when someone posts about a knock, if you made it home, more than likely, it’s not something in the bottom. That’s not a 100% thing, but a bottom end problem will show itself quickly......

That's a major bummer!

 

[IDIoit]

this is one of those things that i learned on.
with my gasser background, when you develop a rod knock there is no mistaking it for a top end issue. you can clearly hear the rod knock.
what i was hearing was the piston slapping the head ever so lightly.
ive had lazy lifters, ive had vales hitting the pistons, and ive had fuel knock...
now i have had the pleasure if the sweet sound of the head and piston duet.

it sucks, but i knew the days were numbered going into it.

im gonna throw my spare block in and get it along until i can build the engine i wanted in this thing.

its just another machine.....

holy-e-o-firetruck, you don't do anything half way do you?

sorry to see that, but i do like the mention of a DT!
