Engine Blew!
Pop, my engine went. I started laughing when it did because it was so obvious. There is oil on the ground and an obvious hole in the motor. I’ll probably be parting out what I can, and probably sell my supercharger if all looks well with it.
I was on it on the way to work. It was early, but I always drive aggressive. I hit a big bump during a pull, so I don’t know if that was part of it, but then it went. I had new AMSOIL in it and 82k on the motor and maybe 25k on the supercharger with maybe 5k on the 75mm pulley. Pop! It is what it is. I might just sell the car for a loss and let someone else deal with it. We will see. |

Isn’t this stuff suppose to be inside the engine?

Ouch! I know you had a lot into that build. Sorry man. But at least I know now not to move up to the 75mm pulley.
You could always keep the twin and wait until there's a crate electric motor available. |

Let go pretty hard to do that much damage. Did it make any noise before it went?

It would be so much better if there could be a happy ending to this story. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear it...your build was amazing :( |
What a shame :( glad the failure didn't also incur a safety consequence

It is funny because I was probably a month or two away from converting it back to a CARB/stock condition for smog and then I was going to leave it that way for nursing school. Oh well, but I have plenty of cash. I will just need to figure out what I want to do. I might sell the supercharger or not. I might part stuff or not. I might sell it all as is or not. I might do a swap and have it NA or not. I’ll have to assess the damage and think about it. |
