dam sob another bearing on new motor

[stanggt00]

i just go this motor in march brand new 4.6l v8 i put the vortech back on it dynoed at 371rwhp was driving home from work last week noticed a tapping noise coming from the motor

its a got dam rod bearing i am so pissed rigth now

that motor has less then 10k miles on it

so now i have no idea what i am going to do at this point (3500 bucks down the drain on that motor +1k to have it installed)

i dont know if i want to sell my vortech and nx kit to put money on a forged shortblock

or sell the power adders pay the car off ( i owe 3k) then just sell the car and get a vette or cobra if i can fine one

i am just made at this point and i was not even driving the car hard treated it like a baby

what? you paid $3500 for a new stock motor??? why didn't you buy a forged shortblock for that kind of money? or atleast buy a bigger oil pan.

99-00 seem like they are pleauged with spinning bearings. A while ago, not too long there were several threads with quite a few people posting their faliures up.

i was getting crazy quote from differnet shops about the price on removing the old heads and having the old heads adjusted and moved on to the new shortblock and how it was going to be any were from 2000+ to do the work

i swear if i had a place to do it i would do the work my self

Wow...for 3500 you can get a good built shortblock and have it dressed with all your top end stuff! Good luck, don't waste your money on any more stock motors!
