Really bummed to hear this news. And really curious to hear what the cause of the failure was.

Likewise... but so far this has cost 10k and there's a lot more than that to be operational again. We've removed all the hpde and racing events from 2018

That sucks, sorry to hear this. Looking forward to your findings, maybe it can shed some light on some of the S65 short comings.

This failure has caused me to lower the EGT enrichment temp on my tune. Long live the cats!

yidgyi · 08-01-2018, 09:39 AM

You're like the best and worst person for this to happen to lol. Worst because you've dedicated so much to these forums. Best because you will document this failure in detail like all your posts! Haha. Sorry for your loss!

Yes, I will document in detail. And I'm keeping my old block and will build a coffee table out of it

Yeah . And the blown holes in your block can serve as cupholders

On a serious note ..I'm really sorry to hear about your situation ..

I'm pretty upset about it. I wish I had kept my block... having to put another block in it is sad. I like cars to be original!

Yeah I know . I feel your pain my friend

And it's not cheap !

Patrón · 08-01-2018, 11:56 AM

good luck. i'm shocked the clogged cats didn't throw 50 CE lights and codes.

jcolley · 08-01-2018, 11:58 AM

Does the block have holes?

roastbeef · 08-01-2018, 12:43 PM

I can keep air moving through that plenum while we wait... just sayin.

We haven't checked yet. No oil on the floor or during the tow so it's not likely

With any luck I'll remove it from the car today and prep it for the E92

I think the E90 won't be done until Christmas or so. The season's shot so there's no hurry.

admranger · 08-01-2018, 09:14 PM

Sorry to hear about this.

If the pistons/rods are shot, I need a paperweight for my desk. Crank might be a bit large for a paperweight, but I could use it to motivate some coworkers!

Best of luck on whatever you decide to do. I'm actually quite stunned no one said "LS7"...lol

I'm very curious to see the rod bearings as even if they got some crap in them from the mains failing (if the mains did indeed fail), we should be able to see the wear patterns or lack thereof.
