Blew it up ---------->
Well - that was the shorted amount of time I've ever run a SBC before klilling it ! I got about 6 months and around 1000 miles on the TBI motor in my 91 RS before it died. I was beating on the car pretty hard doing burnouts and even some highway fun a couple weeks back and noticed it was running a bit wierd when I parked it. The next day I fired it up only to hear the dreaded lower end knock.
After taking the car for a ride it was obvious the motor was toast and by the time the ride was over the engine was making a LOT of weird noises and was running on 3/4 power ( or so it felt ). Thankfully the nice weather last week enabled me to get the motor pulled so I could start working to replace it. I got another 305 TBI, swapped the pan, heads, and all accessories onto the "new" block and got it re-installed yesterday. ( I had already replaced the valve seals and added 1.6 rockers to the original heads and swapping them allowed me to install some new head gaskets while I was in there.) Most of the swap is completed but I've still got some work to do before attempting to start the car. ( exhast. cooling, P Steering connections ect.. ) Lets see if I can get better than 1000 miles on it this time ! |

I could only WISH that it was a new engine !!!!!!! Original milage was unknown - guessing it had about 130-150 on it based on the internals.
The only new motor I ever bought was the 355ci that's in my Berlinetta from Chad Golen. OK - OK,.... I had to bring that one back to him twice due to bent valves so maybe I should just put a block of wood unde the gas pedal in my cars as a deterant !! |
