Why weld the case back? ?

 

When I do that on my Ls3 it stumbles and bucks and barely moves. But it's been rock solid for 8 years! Lol

 

You guys are right, I had better find myself a fresh crank. I want to build a bottom end with nice rods and use my current top end. Hopefully I can resleeve the blown cylinder and get a new piston. Not looking to do anything fancy, just want reliability.

 

off the top of my head new cases are 8000$ each. the only partial motor for sale by ladismantlers is 4500$ . the o/p may want to keep the original matching # for his car.

 

email this fella. he is in texas and buys totaled turbos and parts them. i think he has a crank or 2 for around 1500$ . tell him i sent you

Usually by the time you are hearing knock, especially on any forced induction engine, the detonation is pretty destructive. Use this method for quiet exhaust normally aspirated engines, but probably not the best method for too much timing advance, poor quality fuel, or possibly faulty knock sensors( if applicable)

 

Here is the blown rod.

 

thats pretty nasty. im guessing the crank is toast and maybe the cases? best to check the oil pump as well. have you decided on what your going back inside with?

 

I will rebuild with whatever survived and used parts from around. New pistons and better rods likely. I do have a donor case from an 03 car. Pulling the cases apart pretty soon.

 

you have my cell. feel free to call if you need parts at a reasonable price

 

Ok. I am emailing with Sean also.

 

your in good hands then

 

I have a perfect condition 996TT crank if you need one. Also an oil pump.

 

ive got 2 spare 996tt motors kicking about also let us know what you need

 

Wow the rod just vanished any signs before this happened?
