well the car went up in smoke.went to us 41 yesterday got in to the 11's .car felt stong this week .i went to gld on tuesday and ran a 12 flat at 124.75,than yesterday did a few passes and kept going deeper into the mid 11's and the engine went up in smoke,don't know yet what happend but it's burnning oil and smoking like a turkish cigar.i had it dynoed two weeks ago to verify my tune and afr and everything looked good and felt strong.any ideeas on what to look for.the engine is real quiet no knocking,no codes and no check engine lights.just lot's of smoke....

is it the smoke bright white?..... might be just a head gasket.

 

[tinosc281]

nope it's not coolant smell.it smells like burnning oil.the funny thing is oil pressure is normal ,no overheating .

did you clamp down on all the boost/vacuum lines, did any of them pop off? Check your intake to see if there is any oil in there too. How much boost you running? Could it be mega blow by?

 

[01GTvert]

leakdown test to check rings?
boroscope to check rings?
cross fingers and pray it goes away???

well i just pulled all the spark plugs out and there is oil all over.plugs on piston 2 and 8 tips gone.exhaust is full of oil.i didn't have any of the vacuum lines come of,everything tight.the pulley i have on the blower is for 17 pounds of boost.i am just wondering if they thad too much timming in the tune.i had brand new ngk tr6 plugs gapped at 32.fresh oil,and my lm 1 wideband never showed lean .afr was good at 11-12 at wot.so i have no clue what went wrong.i tought my clutch was slipping on a few runs because it felt like it wasn't pulling like it should at 5500 rpms.when it dynoed they took it up to 6700 and was pulling.made 553 hp and the afr was at 12 with the tail pipe sniffer.the torque looked low to me at close to 500 but i thought the clutch might need some adjusting.i was going to take it to BOB this comming friday to retune but wen't up in smoke.so will see what happend.going to yank the motor back out probably this week.

sorry to hear bro

 

[Flatliner]

That is horrible news... and just plain sucks. I hope all works out for you Tino. Another thing, why such a huge gap on the plugs?

thanks guys.i will see what the damage is once i take the motor out.hopefully i can salvage some parts.it will probably get rebuilt stronger.do you guys have any engine builders that you might recommend.it's just becomming a money pit trying to go too fast.

 

[IZZy]

that sucks man, I know if that happened to me Id be pissed.
now build it better and stronger!

 

[Bob_Kurgan]

[1MEANGT]
