Wasn't that a new engine? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Aarons72s · 10-25-2006, 09:44 AM

That sucks man. At least you got the fire out before the whole truck went.

What do you mean by "Intake valve let go"? Did the valve stem break? If so, what does your piston look like? Did you over rev it?

gouldie · 10-25-2006, 10:46 AM

sorry to hear it but it can be rebuilt.

also can you tell us what the cause was when you find out so we can hopfully prevent it.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-25-2006, 12:39 PM

What a bummer!

*MisterMan* · 10-25-2006, 04:34 PM

Yes, it was a brand new engine!!! like only 6 months old, only running for maybe 3 hours.... during breakin we hered a odd tick, well, it finally let go on the side of the road. it was just a freak accident, the rod bent, then the lifters went all side ways, causing obnormal wear... and yea.... (see pics)

--thanks for the condulences...

Hate it happened man but at least it is fixable. If you find out why or what caused it let us know.

Green Machine · 10-25-2006, 10:35 PM

That really sux. Damage to body looks fixable from what I can see, did it burn the paint off of the hood ? Did the retainer break and then swallow a valve ? I wish they sold bad luck insurance, for when sh*t like that happens

ghetto_superman · 10-25-2006, 10:46 PM

ive heard people talk about pushrods that werent seated on the lifters right and that messed stuff up.. maybe that helps..

thats what exactally happened.... ghetto.. yep, thats what im expectng to see when it comes breakdown time

watahyahknow · 10-26-2006, 05:37 AM

whell you should still have a garantee on the motor if not find the retainer back before doing any work on the motor .

there goes my confidence in rebuild or new motors (think i will rebuild it myself now )

krue · 10-26-2006, 06:35 AM

Any word on a warranty?
