have you pulled to motor aprat yet to see if anything can be saved?

autolight 103's to get it fired up. no im waiting on a cherry picker. i only dropped the tank to check my fuel system. just got off the phone with another engine builder/tuner and was also told thats pre ignition from too much fuel and too hot of a plug.

im almost positive it will need new slugs and a new block.

i also called around and asked some shops when you tune a car do you check the plugs after a pull as a tuner, i was told yes thats part of the tuning process. i also asked a few friends and their plugs got checked also to make sure everything good on the dyno.

Well after making it past the grade school fight i made it to the end.

im going to say your block is junk your pistons are junk and your head needs to be welded up

Glenns tanks are nice i got away from the triple pumps and went with a single

ive tried different af the last one was 11:1 and 17 degrees didn't hurt any plugs but burned thru the head gasket and melted a piston and hurt 2 others on c16

My best guess is this isnt a tuner issue its a coolant issue.

How are you returning water from the back of the heads? My sugestion is run a line from each head and y them into the back of the water pump. 6 7and 8 are very hot holes with very poor cooling conditions. Also make sure you radius your valve reliefs in your pistons do not leave sharp edges on them.

The girdle is not really need for your power level. But if you have it it wont hurt. Plus if its the one from greg the guy that made it is cool as hell. I stopped using mine cause im lazy and most people dont use them till 1300 to 1400 hp.

What were your rings gapped at?

Running a dss girdle b.c i just had it around. Burnt through the head and block when i tore ot down. Cooling is oem. My power level has been made before. So i dont see how it should be as issue. The pistons looked to have survived, just some marks from the plugs. Might be re usable. Believe the loss of compression on the other side might be from mushroomed valves. These are also the new tfs heads.

id return the water from the back of both heads to the pump reguardless.

my power level has been made by tons of people but i still manages to eat its self alive.

WHats your ring gaps top and second ring?

And a management system of some sorts is a good idea just for the simple fact you can log everything. And next time dont go out and make a full hit. Go 300 feet shut it off and pull the plugs if all looks well next hit go to the 1/8th and so on.

I took 12 4.6 pistons back to the scrap yard the other day. I got $8.49 back with that being said take your time
