estimated horsepower? when it wasn't knocking of course...

 

I really don't know how much horsepower I have , the strange thing is, it started knocking when I released the gaspedal not when it was in boost!


I had maxium half gas not wot, I will see what causes the problem and let you guys know.

Grrrhhhhh engine is out and I am not happy at all!!!!!!!

I have a crack in cylinder 7 thats all it is....

So back to zero again.....

 

so get another block and try again...

 

I think I put a sleeve in, it is really hard to find a block here...

 

so would a 360 that is stroked be considered a rat motor?

 

A RAT Is a nickname for the big block chevy engines. The small blocks are mouses.

So I bored the cylinder 5 mm out and put the sleeve in with Nitrogen.

After this I bored this out t 4.030 and honend it again.

Also put new rod bearings in they had some water.

Yesterday I build everything together and today I want to place it in the Truck again!!!

I hope it will last longer now then 350 Km.


Thanks and greetings,


Erik.

 

well drive it nice for about 100 miles then start getting into the boost...maybe whilebreaking it in run it on the rich side to keep things cooler.

 

Motor is in the truck On monday I will bring it back to live!!

Tommorow to a Concert Rammstein!!

Will see what is does on Monday, hopefully it will last longer this time!
