This is a serious situation please no negative feedback. Maybe you guys would know. I have a Mike Simon built motor. After I got it back from Mike I drove it for 1 week. The car felt slow and Mike said it had 300rwh and it didnt feel like it. I hired Many from the Scraton racing team he is AEM certified and a PRO tuner. He dynoed my car and it only had 267 rwh and improperly tunned. While at 16 PSI the engine had a blow by even though we were conservative. The #4 cylinder rings gave out. I sent the pistons in to JE pistons and they said they were toast. I redid the engine New pistons and rings and new gaskets. The engine was run for the rings to be seated. Back on the Dyno and we had to retune the car. We ended up at 15 lbs 11.7 was the AFR under high boost and 18 degrees on timing wich is conservative. The car made 349.7 rwh at the 15 lbs. On the 2nd day while I was at a red light the car gave out. I knew from previous experience that is was the same thing, a blow by. We tested for compression and it is the #4 piston again. This time my engine is going to be supervised by the best mechanic and engine builder in this area and Many himself. They are going to dissect the engine because he doesn't understand why this is happening. This is my 5th engine rebuild and all of the support I get from Mike Simon is first he laugh then he said I should have left it alone even though the car was misfiring and going through a set of $55.00 spark plugs every week, he will not answer my calls so I gave up on him.. Do you guys have any positive feedback.. and no I cant go back to stock, when I took the car to Mike Simon last time I lost allot of parts including my stock computer that one of them lost.

 

I have stock ECU for ya, if you need it.

 

Alex that is really bad I feel for you man, i'm so scared of having problems like you've had because frankly I couldn't afford to keep the car if this would be the case.
I've spent over

 

Thanks andy. Sorry Tenblade 2001 i dont have the money for the stock computer..

 

This may be a very very very dumb thing to as but do you have the updated oil bolt things? isnt that what those cause is a cylinder 4 problem when they are the old way? SOrry if this is dumb

 

Actually i havent heard anything about this. Can you explain more or do you have any info on this? i dont see how this would make #4 piston rings go bad..

 

Alex I've been following your threads (at a very safe distance I hope) about all of your bad luck. I really feel for you man. You've been through more snafu than any ten men should have to put up with in a life time. It's gotta end somewhere!
Check here for a run down on the "boltgate" problem. I sure hope you use up all of your bad luck soon.!

 

Wow my engine gave out after i did a run at 120mph. i drove off the hihgway and at a red light it gave out..

 

Damn.



I don't know what to say.



Sorry to hear about all your problems.

 

It makes sence about the oil jets. I wonder if this is the problem?
