good lord. i see now thanx guys. always lookin to learn. and another one. what's a normal egt for like a stock truck just driving around.
well triton it sux that it happend but i guess you gotta pay to play and hopefully this is just some messed up pistons and nothing else. keep us posted. well perhaps to make you feel better i just got a remote controlled plane and crashed it almost instantly soooo i guess we are in the same boat. except many thousands of dollars different i guess lol.

That's about all I can do. No use beating myself up for it, I knew what I was getting into trying to race a big ole truck. I really do look forward to building a nice motor. It's in the works already.

DOOOOD.......that sucks. Even knowing full well what can/will happen, it still sucks when it does. But, now you can build a new on the way you want. I bet that's going to be pretty fun.
When you do get to that point, let us know what you got. I'm sure some of us could take some stuff off your hands.

I figured if I buy a new motor, I can part this one out and make a good amount of money back. That way I won't be out of pocket as much as I could be
Ditto that feeling here. Im sure there are a few of us that could use various spare parts.
