Yet another blown up sub 500hp 7.3...
Not sure where to go now... So many issues, so little money.
Block is fine, heads are fine...
Pistons are cracked, ALL the pistons are cracked...
Ate a main bearing, not sure what damage may or may not be there...
David may or may not help fix it due to the broken main bolt.
Very frustrated with the whole SUB 500hp cracked pistons with less then 30k on the motor. No high sustained EGT's, three dyno pulls, never made it to the pulls with it...
My stock block with 120k of water injection, stage 1's, stage 2's and hybrids... Pistons look great.
Discuss? There are a few things that changed on this motor from my stocker, lets see where this takes us.
BTW, that oil above... has less then 30 miles on it!
Me having my way with the Great Big B****... GBB is what Chelsea (wife) calls her...
Cracked pistons...
Boxed up and ready to go...

Motor is going back to DI to get worked over, coated pistons with the bowls cut most likely... Then throw her back in with some differant tuning and hope for 500-525 on fuel.
The injectors are out now getting worked over, new nozzles and just a good check up.
The turbo is going out shortly, check up and all...
and the HPOP is going out as well.
I am too broke to get it really up there right now. O ya, the Cummins was VERY close to going in this time!
