[QUOTE="SVT_KY, post: 6782640, member: 3515"] Long Story ... 1 1/2 YEARS it took ... Tensioner failed on the Lightning boring it's way through the front engine cover and then shredding and depositing the entire belt piece by piece into the oil pan. [img]http://www.kyhorsepower.com/svt_ky/Engine%20Issue/P1040347T.jpg[/img] I have more pics, but you prolly get the gist of the problem from that one. Searched around and chose Modular Depot to rebuild the engine. It's a Bishoff Engine (BES) and it is sweet. Here's the sequence: [url=http://www.kyhorsepower.com/svt_ky/EngineRebuild/Welcome.html] Engine Rebuild [/url] But there were issues. No oil pressure !!! When I ran at Gingerman last September, I had 35 #'s that dropped to 0 when at idle. Turns out the Galley plugs were left out of the lower end. (First time evar happened according to Bishoff) Then there was this terrible "ticking" noise that has been there since the Git Go. Turns out after many months of diagnosing Ken and Bishoff discovered that the Valve Guides in the FRP heads were "OVAL" (Wow!) and of course there wasn't any warranty on that. Ken was gracious enough to replace all that and I hear the only remaining issue is a rough idel on cold start (Supposedly for the first 10 secs or so.) Ken is supposed to call me today to arrange to get the truck back to me. Most all of the issues were not with Ken or MD or Bishoff, they are the Standard "If it's gonna happen it will happen to Cliff" stuff. Also, Nancye and Mike and all the peeps at MD are top notch. :) Anyhow ... Starting now until December, I will be at most events that I can drive too. Hope to see y'all On-Track !!! Cliff:rockon::rockon::rockon: PS ... I think we are gonna come out with a great performer. I think we are at 460 HP at the moment. Pulls like a draft horse !!! < Very Strong> Maybe now I can PSS Peter !!! LOL [/QUOTE]
