lol, You will. It is just a matter of time.

You wasn't kidding.

I really feel bad for you. :(

Something to think about. If the torque backed off. You want to know if the studs stretched, nuts backed off, threads in hole pulled, etc.

I know it was awesome while it lasted...I was really hoping to see it again at ZdayZ 2020 :mad:

Trying to figure out what I am going to do besides getting a can of gas and a match.

Your emotions are all over the place right now. I know that feeling very well.

One minute, let's tear it apart right now and see what happened.

Who has a full 5 gal gas can, matches, and hot dogs.

I'm parting it out and selling everything.

Then having to listen to the better half saying, I told you so.

Give it some time. Calm your nerves. Clean the head before making any major decisions.

I know you have your other engine; unsure exactly how much they removed off of it for the built one.
I’d be happy to loan a hand & help swap out :ugh2:
Lmk

You have a nice concrete pad that’s covered; if you get the proper lifting stuff.....I’ll setup a date; but I’m not gonna rush anything.
It will be performed slow & steady, regardless of the time it takes :tup:
Lmk, I’ll be there to help
:tiphat:

Don't forget the marshmallows :twocents:

Goodluck man, sorry to hear this!

Guys, the motor is done. The headgasket blew so bad I would not be surprised if it torched a cylinder wall. The deck has no doubt been distorted. The next decision I make will be a long and drawn out process. Only time will tell which way to go. I will more than likely be building off my spare motor. No way pulling the heads and replacing the headgaskets is going to cut it. I have a dead cylinder for sure. That hole is fubar.

Pull the spark plugs and see what they look like. Lets just say curiosity.

LOL, not touching it. Waste of time.

It tried to hydrolock when I put coolant back in it after I replaced the clamp and put the hose back on. I told you it is fubar.

Should of bought a mustang.. :stirthepot: jk Sorry to hear about this. That has to be extremely frustrating dumping an insane amount of time and resources into a build just for something like that to happen. This thread provides alot of helpful information for us and I appreciate it, so whatever decision you go with I support. :icon17:
