well my oil went low BECAUSE of the headgasket and i spun a bearing and threw a rod!

I blew my 1st motor cuz of a spun bearing. I was N/A at the time.

Yet another victim of spun bearing! And I don't even have boost.

I would like to vote for rings, but you should edit this as it is not the rings that is the problem, but the ringland. Oh, also you could say lack of fuel caused detonation at 14psi on my stock bottom end. It is usually always lack of fuel, detonation, or oil stavation which would cause the other problems.

apparently i am not doing anything right lately. :-P

Sorry. I understand the intention, which is good, I just happen to be a bit, umm, I guess picky. I work with software testing as part of my job so I get in this mode. ;) Mainly, I want to make sure that the information listed is accurate and not misleading. It is a valid poll to ask though.

I managed to tear up some bearings.

man.. I'm getting tired of people saying/thinking the ring blow out.. they never do.. in fact.. they hold up waaay better than the pistons. I went through three engines.. two of'em went out on me due to high boost and detonation.. the pistons gave out while the rings stayed intact.

go get em murix! ;-)

WEEEEEE!

Raizin is correct. The rings always make it but the ringlands are brittle under detonation.
