    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    Hello Dan, yeah i seem to have forgotten to list the connecting rods there. the car is running a Paxton supercharger at 14PSI, the engine is bored 0.30 over. before breaking it put down 820rwhp on a dyno dynamics it will be running around 850-950rwhp when it's all done

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    Well.. still chasing my tail here. no luck with the builders as they're trying to sell me the spare parts needed for the rebuild now. i got a new block, crank and heads.. got everything machined and ready the block is bored by 0.030 over. i'm on the lookout for a full set of pistons...

    Need to plan an oil pump change.. service manual anyone?

    I'm planning to replace a dead oil pump in a 2006 SRT-10.. and i figured i do some homework and get some tips/tricks from those of you who have done it before. i've only installed/removed the pump during a complete engine tear down before, and i certainly don't feel like pulling the engine out...

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    no word from Jason about compensation yet as we're still trying to piece together how it failed. i came here to get some feedback and not to call heffner out on it. Please feel free to ask for any kind of info and pictures to get to the bottom of it.

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    The car was bought straight from Heffner fully built and supercharged. Jason confirmed it's tuned for 14PSI boost on 93 octane, and made 900rwhp when dynoed before being sent out here.

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    i have emails from jason heffner confirming the engine had "ported heads, larger camshaft lower compression pistons, stock crank and rods. The engine would have been marked by Nelson because they balanced it." we got the car in as is.. it's always been running pig rich btw.. we're talking AFR...

    the engine was built by Heffner Performance.. which is surprising as they're quite a reputable company.

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    Dan, the car has 5k miles so far. the engine has 2k miles since it's been built! you can see scuffing on both sides of each cylinder wall, where the pistons were tilting during their movement due to their size mismatch. 4 pistons have cracks exactly where the scuffs are. some are missing...

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    it actually was built by a highly professional shop (or so i thought).. it's one of the most sought after names too... i'm confused to be honest. Martin: it aint that bad down here.. we have liquor stores, bars, world class nightclubs, etc Having sex on the beach will get you fined and locked...

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    who said it hasn't? :) the cylinder walls looked clean when we looked at them from the bottom during the initial inspection, but i can clearly see signs where the pistons were digging into the walls close to TDC and most of them have jagged edges. basically the damage went up from the initial...

    Found wrong size pistons in my blown engine during disassembly!

    Reference to my previous thread: "http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/623087-snapped-connecting-rod.html" i finally sourced all the parts needed to rebuild me a new engine bottoms up, took the blown engine out and disassembled it. According to the original builder, The...

    snapped a connecting rod..

    i know both Jon and Julian from MSW (DXB Racing)! :) i'll check your site and will be in touch with you soon. do you agree that the snapped rod shows signs of an early crack (bottom right)? or you think that's unlikely? market is a bit down now just like the rest of the world.. but...

    snapped a connecting rod..

    we knew the piston made contact with the spark plug cuz the plug was bent and it happened again till we replaced it with a shorter reach plug. my theory is the following: the engine knocked which cracked the connecting rod on the #2 cylinder the piston eventually slammed the spark plug, and...

    snapped a connecting rod..

    Hi everyone. we have a 2006 SRT10 with a paxton supercharger that just threw a rod last night :( the car had some issues earlier this month with the 2nd cylinder when the piston made contact with the sparkplug (nothing dramatic, but enough to bend the electrode and short it) we changed...
