Last Aug with my 462 in my Trans Am, I came back from a car show in Williams lake. Long line of traffic, Passing lane coming up. So I put my foot down a little, 125kph, nothin big. Get close to the end of the passing lane, Ohh, 2 cars left, I open secondarys, RPM goes to 5000, Pullin great, then nothin. No bang, just no power. Little bit of smoke in rearview. Pull over, now lots of smoke. Engine bay filled with oil.
Turns out, a head gasket went like right now. Filled crankcase up with coolant, and when I let the ponies loose, reverse hydrolocked #5cyl, splitting piston then cracking the block to the water jacket
Blocks since been sleeved, and will be Powdercoating it next week. Just need to order the new stroker crank and other internals, and have my heads redone. Hopin end of May!!!!
Nice Sunday car show turned into a $4000 affair
Nice Self coated, Ceramic and Anti Friction Pistons!
Powder Color for the block
Preliminary Dyno Sim numbers
