New engine and build question

[Tomkirkland4]

How or why did your stock blow?

Not sure why it blew. Truck has 92k miles. I drive pretty aggressive offroad but pretty normal around town.

Well, at least it doesn’t suck!

My stock motor blew with 104k on it. Put s tune on it when it got to 5-10k can't remember but was pretty early. O was on the cruise at 75 and bump the brake to disengage and boom that was it. My the counter weight on the crank let go.

Is anyone else bothered that this man was ok with his engine blowing at 91k and then he saying, "not too bad."

What the hell happened here? Lol, no dig on the OP - I just would not be happy or satisfied with an engine lasting only 91k.

I expect modern engines to run at least 300k. Especially when small block GM motors were good for that 30 years ago. Long live the LS motors.
GM can't even make them as good anymore.


That being said, I do not trust FI motors. They are always one hiccup away from blowing up. I have 130k on my 911 turbo. Those motors are brick shit houses, but I hold my breath a little every time I'm hammering it.

Porsche engines are not Ford engines lol.

In fact, the best hands down most reliable sports car is a Pcar.

There is a reason I have a 911 and not a Ferrari.

New engine is running good after 600 miles. The larger turbos and other mods really help. I have only been running 3/4 throttle I’ll open it up after I hit 1k miles.

Congrats!

Keep us updated. Mine just went under the microscope for upgraded CAM FKING PHASERS. That cash was going to be used for my third wife's BBL but I guess she'll have to be flat for a while...
