my motor = F'D!!!!!

[UDLOSE98]

ran the car for the first time today at the track, wanted to do an oil change pre run, but didnt have a filter. Ran it once, first run ever 15.2 then pulled over and heard a tinking noise.

Said ****, oil was low, but my light didnt come on, added oil, and now there is a small vibration from the motor, like a small knocking noise inside.

Spun bearing, correct?

I am pissed and not, this way I will build a motor over winter and attempt 600 rwhp next spring.

Well if you aregoing into the task of buiding up a big motor. Shouldn't be too big of a deal to pick up a low to mid mileage longblock for like $300-500 and put in yourself.

Gives you more spare parts for your motor too.

Re: my motor = F'D!!!!!

thats you own fualt you probly fried your turbo from lack of oil too.....

good luck with 600 RWHP, only 3 cars have done it and they are all owned by companies with nearly unlimited funds

i hope you upgrade the tranny and rear end to

you may be able to pull the oil pan off and fix that one bearing with a new one to keep you on the road untill you get the motor rebiult

turbo is not in yet.

I just drove the car the whole way home, oil pressure seems a little low, and the vibration only occurs at like 4500 rpms.

I am gonna stay with the motor, I believe it will last.

my dad has done it

remove oil pan..... find out what bearing spun...... replace lube and re-TQ it then hope it lasts.....
if nothing else it will at least restore oil PSI and stop you from killing the rest of the motor or you could be like his and last 50,000 more miles

eather way it cheaper then a full rebiuld

i think he use som sand paper on the crank to smooth/polish it a little so the new bearing would seat well
