does anyone know if there is a sleeve kit for our cars... I took my blown motor apart and it appears as though all the internals held but the block gave way... I'm confused... anyone think it could have been low oil or something... I had a tiny leak but I checked my oil every 2 days.... anyone have any other ideas... I am very curious for those with blown motors to tell me what happened to theres so I can gather a hypothesis as to what happened

 

Bad tune....

 

Yes you can get the block sleeved, but the block is not going to fail before anything else.

 

If you had a lack of lubrication I would imagine you would spin a bearing or bend a rod before busting a hole in your cylinder wall... what kit are you running? What tuner? Were you tuned? Details!

X2 looked all damn day and I finally found it thanks....
I as running a dezod bolt on new rings forged rods and new pistons... I was tuned 2 days before 10.5psi 4 degrees retarded the pan and everything internal is intact except the back of the block... looks as though I hit the block with a chisel and put a small hole in it then the rest around it gave way....the weirdest thing I've ever seen Ill post some pics when I pull it...

 

^^Something aint right. My boys car puts down 500+ and his block is not sleeved. The block is stronger than you think. You might had an install error or something out of the ordinary happen to cause your block to go KaPUT!

 

Wait your motor was built and it blew ? didn't you say in another thread that one of the bolts holding the rod to the crank let out ?

 

lol nope that wasnt me I posted in that fourm though.. I thouth maybe I bent a rod but I didnt really know till I got it apart..... That kid to his to the stealership I think
