Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about your motor. I hope all works out well in your favor! BTW, who tuned your car and did you actually hit the dyno to check out your A/F ratio? Were you running off a Predator box tune? Just little things like this to help out others that are headed down this same road!

best of luck, that is what happens with a lean condition. I hope the SVT rep is a nice guy.

Yes, do tell about what tune you were using. What do you think caused it? Did the dealer say anything about what they thought caused it?

I could'nt agree more the most important thing to have done when your moding is custom tune.. :thumbsup:

don't tell me that! :nonono: Did he have his A/F checked? I'm very interested in knowing......It seems odd the motor would blow unless he was running lean as heck! op:

he never had it checked but he had identical mods as me while back and we both had similar tunes and mine was dead on from RWTD 11.9 - 12.0 across the board (I like it rough, lol). His motor always made the ticking noise since day 1 then it just got louder all a sudden. Dealership guessed it to be the head tick so they tossed a new head on and engine still made noise. Thats what lead to taking the engine apart.

I'm guessing he might have gotten bad gas and went lean for too long of a period.

I take it you de-modded and flashed back to stock? Please update us with the events of your case as I've heard of one person getting a new motor after reflashing back to stock.

Man o man, even if it was the same tune, you still gotta dyno the thing! Time after time we see this crap happening and it just shouldn't. GET YOUR CARS ON THE DYNO PEOPLE!!! Not all cars are the same, even if the mods are.

what would a flat 12.0 a/f across the board be?? safe, lean?
