99 Windsor PI 4.6L
Crower Stage 2 cams
Patriot valve springs
Trickflow plenum, bbk 75mm tb
BBK longtubes
Vortech V2SQ Blow thru setup, 42lb injectors, boost a pump, Methanol injection 12-14psi on 3.6" pulley

I remember one time I was gettin into boost up a hill and the next thing i know it started smoking and i heard something blow up. it was the PCV valve getting blown out of the valve cover. Anytime after that the PCV would blow out of the valve cover when i entered boost. and for a long time after running the car hard the coolant overflow tank would boil over.

Started knockin really bad and just running horribly after a while.

They're some crappy pictures but all but two of the cylinders have this kind of damage.



Yes it was "tuned"

Yep, that thing detonated itself to pieces.

What are you running for a fuel system at 12-14psi? This is a stock shortblock at that PSI?

Yes, that's a stock shortblock.
Are the cams N/A cams?

Looks like a perfect example of detonation.

I'm running 42lb injectors a high volume ford racing fuel pump with a kenne bell boost a pump attached.

Ya unfortunately this is a stock longblock, and yes the cams are NA. I bought them and used them for a couple of years, then decided I needed a blower.

I sort of blame the tuner for this. My dyno pulls went from 409rwhp, then he tuned it a little more, 421rwhp, and then tried to tweak it some more. Then on my last pull my throttle cable broke so I never finished the pull. He reassured me it would be fine. The AFR's I believe were tuned to 11:1. Dont quote me though, I haven't driven the car since around Christmas time 2008. Just

Just now got the motor torn apart.

Obviously it wasn' an ideal setup but I feel that it could have been prevented.

What does everyone use to measure knock/detonation? This tuner said he has no way of doing that, and adjusts the timing via the IAT's and AFR's. Personally that seems kind of shady. Needless to say I'm a little upset knowing now what happened to it.
