This was a 2.5 block with 2.8 crank (forged) and rods. Then the pistons were .50 over m50. With higher compression. Head was machined with all new super tech valves and double valve springs. Entire setup was also fully balanced and blue printed. With 11/1 compression. As well as Schrick cams.
The Machine shop that did the work forgot to install the oil squirts. So the engine starved for oil. Crank ruined. The number 6 valves gave out. 1 broke and made a hole in the piston causing the other one to bend. I think the entire engine is toast. We will take the rest apart tmrw and see. Sad. Pistons were tethlon coated as well. 1K miles is all this lasted.
We try and do 90% of the motor rebuilding in house. Customer wanted this done else where then started to have problems and brought it in. This is what we found.
