msp build parts (preview!!....:)

we're not sure what happened yet. First compression check then dropping the oil pan tomorrow morning to see whats going on.
 
I really hope its nothing serious. s*** like this makes even the most dedicated MSP owner give up. (sad2)
 
What's going on, what happened ? I'm confused and i can't find any post from sander of what happened, can somebody tell me what's going on... thanks..

All he said was that they are going to be doing a compression check today and drop the oil pan. So everyone's speculation is that it cant be good, especially since they are going to drop the oil pan.

I still don't get it. wasn't hes car already running fine, did something happened to it ? he blew the engine or what's going on..
 
First dyno he had an exh mani leak and needed to put in the fuel pump I think.

Went back after everything was fixed and planned dynoing at 7 & 14psi and now we know nothing more than :( and having to do a comp test and drop the pan which can't be good...that's it.

Damn bro, what a shame with Sander... He's not having luck with his builds or simply the people that have done the work are having problems putting everything together the right way.. **** what a shame because he does have a very very nice setup i really hope he don't give up.
 
crankwalked the motor and spun the 1st bearing. My guess is the motor wasn't balanced properly at the machine shop and once we started to make some decent power it couldn't take it. Thanks god I didn't pay the guy a cent!
I found a used longblock for really cheap today, picking it up tomorrow morning and swapping motors.
Don't worry guys, even though when I realized the motor was trashed last night and it felt as if someone dropped a car battery on my sack, I'm not going to give up on this car. I've come to far and would regret giving up now.
I wish I could give you guys some awesome hp numbers, I know if the motor was fine the car would have ripped hardcore, but sadly here I am again with another garbage motor.
Word of advice, don't believe everything that you see or hear, good machinist are hard to come by these days. I've come across people in the business who are just interested at making a quick buck.
Alright thats it for me
 
Props for sticking with it, I know it can't be easy. Glad to hear you found another engine for a good price so quickly. Keep it up, i can't wait to see what you car is capable of!
 
yea there are a lot of fucktards in the industry today......this worries me about my project =(
