So pretty sure after the sled pull thurs for the DPC we fried a piston so we got the truck home finally today and started the tear down process, first got the glow plug out and it was pretty f'd up and next we got the injector out from cyl#1 and that was all gunked up, so tomorrow we are going to get the heads off and see what kind of damage is done
Basically it was my fault for trying to shift from second to third while spraying, i hit a bump mid pull and slipped up to N and slammed it back to third and sprayed the second stage finishing my pull, not really the best idea, but oh well, just time to improve on what i got lol
wow def a pain in the a$$ to get the stock head bolts off, got the one side head off and the #1 piston is burnt up pretty good, taking the drivers side off now
Didnt take you guys long to get it tore down. i got stuff i need to do to my truck too but its going to be awhile, hope the damage isnt too extensive, hopefully you can get away with a piston, How does the cylinder wall look?
even more bad news, two more pistons milted pretty bad, the inside of the top of the piston is in the shape of a star now, so its getting worse as the day goes on
Yea, so some kinda good news i found a motor so we are just going to replace the whole thing, EGR delete is almost done, going to get studs and put the new one in this weekend hopefully
It was nice meeting you and craig at DPC and i want to say thanks for lending / giving me that axle shaft..... If you guys need ANYTHING let me know. Sorry to hear about damage to your engine Mike. You guys should come down to the OBX race on May 22nd. Its gonna be a big one!
Nice meeting you too brian, we should have the truck done in the next two weeks, motor just came in today and we are sending some stuff out to Elite to get modified hehe,, then putting the new motor back in
