this is why reman cranks suck....at the time eric couldnt source a good used crank... the fracture started at the welded fillet area between the # 1 and 2 journals...the crank counterweights took out the bottoms of # 1 and 2 pistons...this failure happened at less than 2k rpm as he was in a left hand turn lane stopped and had just started moving when it failed...

i dont have pics of the pistons (or whats left of #1 and 2) but here are the bent valves on his 150k heads...excessive guidewear has relegated these to the mockup pile...

our glass beaded ported LIM (didnt take a pic of after paint...yet)

eric already has a 25k 05 L32 longblock tossed in, while the 98 block will get a full bore buildup



Oh and today i got the rest of my machining parts! wooot! i havent gotten the chance to play yet but i will soon... ;)
