Cummin Un Glued lived up to its name
 

well i'd say this was out last pull for this season...we will get it apart tomorrow and see what all let go

Oooo never a good site... Hope it's not too bad

man that sux... and i am sitting here upset cause i just spent a ring on my harley. no offence but you made me feel a bit better.

dang man

ouch..... looked like steam so maybe you will get lucky and it will only be a head gasket.....

:argh: that sux:argh:
hope its not to bad:c:

:choochoo:

oh its gonna be more then a headgasket....its fire ringed...block and head...it must be something in the bottem end cuz it wont turn at all...we thought maybe the battery was just too weak so we pulled it....yeah it slid all 4 tires when i let out on the clutch....the steam was a valve cover leak...puked oil on the engine

i hope its not tore up too bad.

so far we got the cab off, trans/tcase out, clutch and engine plate off, turbo/exhaust manifold off, startin on the topside now fixin to take the stuff off the head

i will have pics of the damage here a another couple hours....one of my buddys borrowed my big engine stand so i cant set it outta the frame till he gets here

That sucks! Now's time to upgrade the weak link.

well maybe its not at bad as i thought but its still bad none the less but it looks like its gonna be fixable but going to need new pistons and some machine work

i guess its time to upgrade to air-water intercooling

Strange to see #1 melt down. Blow a tip off an injector?

Interesting? Can't wait to see the diagnosis of the failure. how bad did the valves look?

well we are done with the teardown the bottm end all looks fine so this engine will be sat aside for the rest of this season...going to start transfering parts over to my backup engine tomorrow after i get this one off the engine stand....wont be able to move the cam over tho so i'm gonna be down on power for sure but atleast i'll be showin up and gettin my points for that

the reason it was #1 and not #6 i belive is because i've got my intake dual feed so #6 is actually gettin decent airflow and #1 is now the farthest away from the intake

i belive what happend was the fact that they were stock uncoated pistons and i wasnt running any intercooling because i figured the stocker wasnt gonna flow enough for the charger so i planned on running it non intercooled for this season then put air-water on for next season...guess i had too much fuel for that also starting to think that timing might have had something to do with it...actually kinda looks like the fuel wasnt staying in the bowl at 28*

still seems like that wasnt very long to do that. only time i have saw that was on long floating finishing hooks. i hate over 300 ft. hooks.

starting to think that it gettin shutdown last weekend hurt it....cause since i got it started back after that the engine had a slight noise to it that it didnt have before...shouldnt have pulled it...but it really didnt sound like it was anything major...just sounded like a lifter tick or something

i would say that is right.:tu:

oh well....time to get the backup engine ready to go....might not even miss a pull

how does the head look? what are you running for a water pump set up?

head looks fine...electric waterpump

you sure the water pump was on?

yep the water pump was on...timing was too far we can see it on the pistons

I don't think timing was the cause of this ... I've been higher than that all year with some street miles ( under 50) as well

you been over 28* all year on stock pistons?

yes stock pistons 145* injector ... been at 30* all year. I know I'm out of the bowl but it likes to run there

from the looks of the pistons my actual timing was more then 30* cause i was a pretty good ways outside the bowl....any idea how much .050" would effect the timing?

i'm at 28* and thinkin of going to 30-32* just for the crunchy rattle effect :yeah:

I am not sure about this, but you may want to check into your number one cyl. When I machine my blocks for race or pull I over bore one and six and hone with a deck plate to simulate the clamping effect of the head. The over bore is only if you don't have a data logger to control and monitor the temperatures with the use of a water injection.
