[QUOTE="PNWSVT, post: 16005434, member: 192698"] update------------------------- The engine went to the machine shop yesterday, should have a detailed report as to what needs to happen or be fixed etc. I purchased my fuel lines, fittings and wiring to upgrade my fuel system from FORE Innovations and will be delivered by next week. My fuel pumps are both SUPERCAR GT pumps. I am replacing the lines and solenoid for my SNOW Performance water/meth kit. will be ordering from Lethal Performance ARP Main Studs ARP 2000 Head Stud Kit ARP Sidebolts TOB and Retainer Sleeve Comp Cams adjustable Gear Set and possibly billet oil pump gears, I say possibly because I am not sure if mine are billet already. Here is a picture of the gears. Is there a way to tell? [ATTACH=full]1515378[/ATTACH] Not much else to report on. The builder said the pistons look great, but there were signs of detonation and could possibly get by with rings. He was not happy that the previous builder shaved the end of the rods to balance them. -----I have a new theory as to what happened to my car---- I think the previous owner tuned it on the water/meth kit. The reason I say that is most engines that run these water/meth kits are generally really clean (pistons cyl walls etc) due to the steam effect. But my pistons were caked with carbon. The water/meth lines running to the intake were bone dry and also brittle. It appeared that possibly the pump stopped working since there is no check valve and was improperly mounted in the trunk. Its possible this caused the engine to run like dog shit and become progressively worse. Well anyways off to order more parts! [/QUOTE]
