was at idle, gave it 1/2 throttle....heard bad mech. noise...engine stalled. Push starter button, spins w/ no load (starter not the engine). Gonna go investigate right now....engine might come out because of weak comp. in 1 cyl. But u know what? With my common sense, skills, and this WONDERFULL supportive, information overloaded forum that is like a new-found family. what u don't know, I do, what I don't know, Jerry and other members do.......gotta say it again even when shit goes wrong, this forum ROCKS

Check timing chain also.

Send that head to Nils for some port work while you got it down

[luismendez25]

whats the avarage that Nils charges for that head work?

[Green Hulk]

For the port work, oversized lightweight valves, springs, retainers, etc. i think it was around $1900

Ya, I want to get my head ported one day. Man ya gottaa pay to play

[9secZO6]

Block has huge chunks missing, too much to weld, connecting rod let go, on the cyl. that was low on compression.....I think it was bent/twisted when I sucked some water a while back.....3 hours run time later, and this is what I got. Suggestions? SBT? OEM short block about 2300? What a bummer Engine out in 35 mins.....repair will be much longer....

[Turbo Nick]

I would go w/ an SBT engine. Went to there web site and watched there video. They seem to be very detail oriented.

yea, I saw that, but the case is totaled, gonna tear it all the way down, then make a decision.......I'm thinking new short block from BRP......2500 or so w/o core I am told. But I will listen to any advice here, I am over it already, like Hoss said, Life is throwing all it has at me right now, but this is somthing I can handle....still sux though.
