28509, Finally blew a ring...
Posted by 420aVenger, Aug-08-02 11:36 AM
Or a ringland (before Dino yells at me ;) I say finally but it's only been like 7K miles. I haven't checked compression yet so don't know which/how many. My car was smoking so I opened the valve on the catch can and by the time it was done I had a 2 foot diameter puddle of oil. The ironic thing is that it went on the way to get my new motor. The good thing is that I made it from Columbus Ohio To ~Newark Delaware on one tank of gas. Gas light wasn't even on yet when I got there :) BTW I was running 10-11 psi w/ 79K on the motor.

The time will coem for every boosted 420a. Its not a matter of "if" Its more like "when" . Rebuild it and run more boost!!!!!

For some Dave, it is "when"....

....for others it is "if."

The only reason why I'll build up is so I can boost more. (and because I have these damn forged internals sitting on the floor next to me)
