78760, Detonation is my Friend :(
Posted by extreme97nt, Aug-09-04 01:38 PM
Well it was my headgasket causing my problems. I blew both cyl 3 and 4. Looks like detionation was the culprate. Started pitting the pistons and the head.

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)
fastest 2GNT with a hitch! until proven wrong...

It wasnt something that happened all at once. I think it happened overtime.. I would hear a crackel once and a while at WOT but I thought it was my wastegate. I guess the detionation eventually blew the headgasket ect.. My EGT were never over 1600.. I dont know. If I do do the 2.4 I am gona go wiht the megasquirt and drop it off at a shop to be tuned. I dont like the broken shit.

The motor is not broken the short block is fine ther is jsut some detonation marks on the pistons. The motor will still run fine as it did run fine. I lowered the price because the pistons are not perfect.
