I blew my botom end!!!!!!!!!:bang:

[Guero]

Well my hard headed ass finally took it to a mechanic, since my dad said he would pay the charge. well i received a call and he told me i blew my bearings and all that good ****!!!!!! But hes not sure if hes gonna rebuild it cuz it has NOS!!!!!!! My mechanic boss showed up and ruined it!!!!!!!!! Hopefully he would do it, if he does hes only gonna guerantee the bolts wont fall out!!!!!

 

[Guero]

So would a rebuild be fine????

 

[blksn955.o]

yes,

BTW up to 92 had forged pistons stock if you can find a used shortblock in good condition.

OR ask to have it rebuilt to pre-93 spec with stock replacement forged pistons.

 

[Guero]

kool i will!!!!

Damn that sucks man. Hope everything comes out for the better. I hope this crap dosent happen to me when I decide to do my HCI. I would have already bought a Camaro.

 

[Guero]

just put in your lifters right.lol thats were all my problems came from!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[loudpedal99]

Do this!

 

[Guero]

i wish i had the money!!!! how much of a power difference?

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

What was wrong with it? Did the guy pull the motor apart already? By blew your bearings, do you mean spun a bearing?

 

[Guero]

hes gonna make sure tomorrow

 

[Guero]

is a 347 the same block??????? if so what should the difference be in price like instaed of going stock going to a 347?????

 

[Pokageek]

This was not caused by the NOS? This was caused by badly installed lifters? Please explain so we can learn from this mistake. Thanks.

Yep ... you'd use your old block (provided your walls were not screwed up too much). All that happens here is a machine shop will bore the cylinder walls for you 0.030 over bore & he clearances the bottom of the walls to clear the new crank. Machine work should cost less than $600 ... but it all depends on who you go to.

I installed the the x brace that holds the lifters loose, and caused them to move freely

 

[Guero]

so would it be worth it??????

 

[loudpedal99]

You should price out what exactly you need done first, then compare it. If it's only a couple hundred more, then why not? 347's rock!

 

[Zero Signal]

He messed up the spider and the lifters rotated.

[MysteryMachine]
