well you would have thought it would have blown up well before since the car had not had anything different done to it since. if it wasnt put together propoerly it wouldnt have lasted this long. 8 yrs is not bad at all for a standard spec engine i would have thought, espcially when it was making in excess of approx 450fwhp how was the cam grind wrong i wonder ??

that may be the case but it still doesnt answer how a camshaft/camshaft profile can damage a bore ?

man, the thing was a bodge job, not only the engine, but lots of other things aswell. bolts missing in the head, lifters, ect. anyway like has been said, its being built and tuned by real professionals this time around, so never mind, she will be out on the track very shortly

Was actually my everyday car for 6 years, most weeks clocked up 200kms just too and from work. Jarrod still waiting for your PM on what I have done to offend you.

But have you found out exactly what caused it too blow? you've mentioned the plenum, wrong cam grind, wrong tune, missing bolts etc. Which one was the cause of it running lean and stuffing the bearing and two pistons?

remember i am on no-ones side here just curious as to the how a cam can damage a bore.........totally > Quote: also found out the original block was shagged because the cam shaft had not been grinded properly someone please help .......... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

which one was the cause? ummm read what I have said again, they have all contributed to it happening. and ISL33P, ill take pics for you when i go down to rajab this week of everything that was damaged ect.

Hey ISL33P why dont you keep your pants on and leave trent alone. how does that sound. A photo is worth 1000 words yes? - My good mate Bradley says hi too.

Not really sure what all the fuss is about, Trent is getting the engine done by the best in the business so needless to say....bring on the 10 second passes! we will finally get to see RB-3747 Piloted down the strip!

yeah, those plenums do weird and wonderful things! not to worry, will be soon replaced with a Rajab Racing item. alan has assured me 10's so we will see how it goes once she hits the track. and shauno, not long champ!

i was just asking for clarification of the so called problem, that's all, no need to get all touchy and defensive, it is just for the general information of the forum.

my minds made up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

each to their own i suppose. its all good trent i having nothing against you i was just trying to find out what actually happened. people tend to take things the wrong way when its written. im not here to try and stir up sh1t like others, something the forum doesn't need.

same goes champ, no probs with you, just going down different paths to make the power i want to run the pass i want. anyway ill update this thread with new pics once the cars back and running.

there are plenty of ways to get the results, and that why there are some people doing it. as long as you are happy with it, go for it.
