3rd time's a charm!! I hope
As many of you know my poor Sy that I spent 2.5yrs building lasted a whole 250 miles. Evidently the turbo filter I put on the turbo feed line got clogged with break in metal and took out the turbo by restricting the oil flow. This was further confirmed when the motor was broken down and gone through only to find a handful of aluminum at the bottom of the oil pan as well as what was in the filter and all over the motor internals. The rebuild began late due to some difficulties so unfortunately I will not be debuting the shaved Sy at Shindig but I am going to do a build thread this time. My plan is to have the truck totally complete by X-mas and it will probably be completed before then.
So far I have pulled the motor and totally broken it down. I received my new motor from John @ Xplicit Racing and I couldn't be happier, except for the fact that I don't know the specifics of the build as far as the cam and the C.R. The motor is a built four bolt main block with a nitrided & cryo'd crank, oliver H-beam with TRW pistons. I figured the C.R would be the same as my last motor until I took my Vortec heads the the machine shop to have them checked out, gasket matched, and possibly have them decked, to raise C.R. That was until I tried to measure the deck clearance and really couldn't even get a micrometer on it, Almost 0 deck clearance. By my calculations that put me where I wanted to be, 8.8:1 up from 8.1:1.
The build is going to be the same caliber of the exterior of the truck. Very unique, very fast show truck. As far as color scheme this time I hope to it all polished aluminum, stainless steel, and black with a minor amount of red accents.
How the truck looked 5 days ago:
And now the new built motor started like this:
A little grinding and filling....lol
