I came back home, forgot to get gas for the lawnmower.. Took widow out to get gas for mower, didn't even get out of my neighborhood, and saw three breakneck smiles. I feel like i need to take a reaction video now and post it up.. I gotta get a dash cam, i need a low buck option..
 
" I feel like two different people are posting for haltechsupra"



Some truth here , with 420-and without.. Now without- and studying for test, no sleep, more edgy.. on and on..Nice awareness!
 
;) .... Priced some cameras at fry's today, looks like there's a neat one for $75 , have to put it on my wish list. Had a buddy take some video of reactions of the car, but he was dealing with my potato, and his camera skills were horrible..
 
Well dam, carnage fun.

I am back . Back from vacation, got lots to show ya, lots more smiles for everybody.. and with broken bits.. Enjoy and celebrate.No really i got my moneys worth out of it.

Let's take a minute to line this one up, last night, retorqued head to ever insistent loss of coolant every third drive.Refill empty radiator (wtf) had this problem since i put it in and thought, well it may be seeping through the multilayer thick head gasket for rsi(thickest i could get).

..I thought it looked fine, but i never took it to a machine shop to have anything checked, did it all myself, i just used the dial bore gauge and micrometer and plastigauge, not ever considering doing a sonic check of the thickness of the bore, even though it was a D, E, E, D block, first i have ever seen with this large of a factory volvo bore. I thought cool.. More cc right.
Well what had happened was,I got a call that a McClaren f1 was at a local meet talking some chit(my fav car of many) so i had to go see how mine would do against him. I told Lord athlon to hold my die grinder and i told texas 740 to hold my pack of resistors, Scott Dingleand Taro uterburger underpants and the bois, had just got done installing stickers on their tires, and had told me to spam the web with their attitudes, i refused. So I went figuratively riding- after re torquing head studs to 100ft lbs, and car idled to dry new header paint. (How much paint does stock support you may wonder-well not this much, as luck would have it)I drove out of my neighborhood, and to first stop light, sat at red light, waited, went on green, and made it about 600 ft down that road for a total of a 1/4 mile ,and it BLEW apart, I mean a few seconds of shrapnel exploding and bouncing everywhere! I was driving about 20mph in VACUUM taking in the fresh air of the awesome evening we had that evening, as soon as i heard the SHTF, i turned the key off and coasted to next turn lane and parked, tuned on hazards and prayed for the best, i found my cam gear about 50 feet back on the roadway, along with half a stock volvo wrist pin. Er oh. No mo gewd.

The pieces that proved the block was cracked, rust and cracks on the broken pieces of inner bore of block.

its more than a pita to copy them , then share from my hd.. didn't know not everyone could see them. The links from Fb are videos, and if you just click on them they are public so you should not have to subscribe.
 
the aftermath of shrapnel

I got around to tearing the Black Widow apart today.

Freeze plug gone..

As i had expected, cam lobes down on all four valves on cylinder 2 that busted out. This explains broken cam bolt on intake, and both cam gear pins sheared..Looks like I have 4 bent valves for sure..

Then went back out to play in the rain. I couldn't stand being so close to complete teardown.

I used a oil filter chain wrench to knock piston out of bore with a 3/4 wrench and a cheater pipe, no fingers were hurt this day, no blood was had, no stitches. There were a few close calls however, with that rod bouncing around trying to catch me slipping.

And outta there.. Slightly bent rod. Anyone got a good spare H beam they want to sell me? Kenny Howard? Anyone?

And 4 out of 16 definately bent..Possibly more. 10 out of 16 hit the pistons when the cam gear broke off and both pins sheared. Probably have some cracked valve guides. The proof is the dimples on top of the pistons i shaved 1.5mm off of(stock n/a pistons) and thickest rsi cometic metal headgasket and arp studs.

In conclusion, bore number two had a crack in it for what appeared to be a while, as it lost coolant ever since i installed that $62.50 block. I have a rusted chunk of the bore -3 out of 4 corners are rusted quite a bit, showing it had this problem for a while. The bore ended up splitting under vacuum at around 2500 rpm cruising, and breaking the top of the piston and wrist pin off the piston, and in half, keeping the broken piston wedged at the top of the bore. This introduced extreme pressure into coolant and blew both freeze plugs out. Then all four valves bent in number two cylinder as the h beam rod kept beating it up into the head. This broke the intake cam bolt and sent the intake cam gear flying under the car- and threw the timing belt off. This also caused the exhaust cam gear to shear dowel pin. The rod in number two then beat the crap out of the rest of the block and bent very slightly. Now time to save and rebuild it to be better.
 
Just a simple cheap tip..... If you run a stock block 93+ let's say you can just bolt the head on and rock it, no need for making valve reliefs or taking of the top of the pistons. More than a few of us have done it. Works just fine and holds 300+ whp without blinking an eye. Super cheap and reliable and while saving up for another h beam build.
 
Correct Info... UNLESS the head has been machined /milled to be flattened. As i said Much earlier in this thread(maybe the first time before i deleted it all). Measure your heads to see if they are unmolested. The first time around i stuck this head on a Na bottom end and rocked it. Then i removed it and put a flat bar too it, because it was warped i had it machined. When i got it back they took way too much material off this head as well, then valves would not clear, hench my piston sanding and thick head gasket shenanigans.
