POOKDIZZLE Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 heading to the machine shop to pick the long block up! Did the stuff I sent down make it OK this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboSam Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 19t ftl In my eyes still the best bang for the buck ! Even if it pulls not that hard as many think (say). I only regret that i didn't modified the turbo when i did the change (port and different wheel).Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhoeve Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sounds like you got it covered(all new rods and pistons). I would find it hard to believe the conditions that existed to create detonation were present in only one cylinder. Therefore, all rods and pistons are suspect. Much as is driver.

It's like crashing a carbon fiber bike or losing your girlfriend on a bender one night only to find her when you wake up. It may look ok, but it still may be compromised.

Crank Journals are/were in great shape. Just picked everything up, machinist asked how many miles were on the car and he was impressed because of how well everything mic'd out and looked for the mileage it had.
