That looks like a lot of oil in there for only 1000 miles... what plugs TR6 ? Head cooling mod done ?
yessir TR6 plugs gapped to .36, head cooling mod is done as well.That looks like a lot of oil in there for only 1000 miles... what plugs TR6 ? Head cooling mod done ?
yessir factory size pullies upper & lower, did verify 8 psi with stock boost gauge would peg under 10 lbs.So it had a 2.76 upper and 2lb lower previously? And those were swapped to factory sized pullies? Caged lower? Were you seeing 8psi on a boost gauge to verify?
you may be right, shitty part is i have a state ref appointment march 1st to get this ****er into my name finally since its been down with engine issues since i bought it. With it all back to stock i thought it was good to go but apparently not, if it was due to fuel or leaning wouldnt the plug strip go first?Looks like that shitty California gas got you
Any pics of the other cylinders ?
heard all too familiar tickingWhat made you look into this to begin with?
Did you pull the valve cover off? It honestly looks like little pieces of metal were banging around the top of that cylinder. I thought all the pistons looked like that, that would be more indicative of bad gas.
Maybe that little chunk of whatever on the right is what’s doing it.
I thought maybe that was melted piston but maybe not. Usually it would melt down.
150-142 isn’t far off.
See if you can get that piece of whatever out of there

yup sucks, im tired of waiting and relying on people and shops that end up doing shitty jobs, L&R engines in Santa Fe Ca. im going to build the motor myself what else do i got to lose. i just hope i can get by this damn state ref inspection march 1st pass and pull the motor.Unfortunately you’re going to have to tear this motor apart. Who built it for you?

trust me i know! ive experienced that first hand, but i truly believe this situation is different.Best built motor won't stand up to a bad tune and/or fuel.
