Yikes that sucks to hear
Maybe hitting the bump caused the wheel speed to change enough that when it caught traction it put a bunch of extra load on the drivetrain? Not that it matters. Hopefully there's a happy ending to this but I get cutting losses if it's time to move on. |

Sorry man, I couldn't resist that opportunity. I always invite anybody to make a witty comeback at my expense. All I ask it that they put some thought into it instead of resorting to name-calling or unnecessary insults from left field. Just put some thought into it. It really is an art form. Just ask @Tcoat, he knows. |

That's a drag, been there. Tough decision. I opted for a new motor.

Ouch. This is why since I went FI I've been slowly conditioning my wife by casually dropping "when I'm going to need that 15K to build a new FA20" in conversations.

To be completely honest, I think anything that takes out an NA motor is just as likely, if not more likely, on a built engine. Oil pressure issues, bearing issues, etc are not addressed by having a block built with stronger components. If I were to go back to NA, I would get the lowest mileage used engine I could find and never touch it
