Winter Repair - 418" Turbo Mustang - E85

[98 Camaro]

Well, it seems that I have hurt the motor after 6 summers of fun. I have been very happy with this combination!

Cylinder # 6, 7 and 8 all leaked pretty high. 6 and 8 leaked 80%......yikes.

Not sure when I hurt it, but you couldn't tell any issues....it was still just as fast hurt as it was not.

Motor should be out next weekend.

It's possible, but the tune was rich. I think it was timing, but also thinking injector issues due to the feed line breaking down. I marked all injectors and will flow them to confirm.

No mod motors for me jake. I would go LS motor next time.

yes, its a stock lightning truck block.

switching to a better block would give me insurance, but the trans would be the next in line to blow. (AOD-e)

I will entertain that offer.

 

[jakefb]

post up some pics on your progress as it comes along tim. If you need a hand I will be home Friday.

As much as I would like a 4-bolt block, this is a budget project. By keeping parts that have a limit keeps me from spinning out of control and waking up one day with an OLS car.

I will hopefully get the motor out this week and take the drivers side head off for inspection.

Thanks Jake for the offer. I'm sure I will need BBR to fab me up something cool.
