You are a real dick.:wizard::ban?::Whatever:

As for myself, I didn't know who he was getting them from, if I did I would have advised otherwise..... as far as altering??? he puled the INTAKE, he did not pull rods out... gimme a break, intake does not waste bearings....

So, exactly how long have you been blowing apache kid, douchebag? Two posts here and you have all the answers!

You are right. but when u pull the intake off and u dont put it back on right and time the motor right it will waste all the bearings.u should know that look at what u did to your own motors after five mints of running them. and if he had the intake off y would he put it back on with all the rust in the motor.lets see some pics of the tops of the pistons.

I do know that and timing will not waste the bearings, I have detonated engines and many buddys have to the point of melting pistons and did not hurt the bearing, come on.... as far as the rust I don't know, I was not there for that part but I can say pulling the intake did not cause it, just admit that you had them sitting and you did not give him "fresh engines" that's all everyone is saying, I don't care WTF Dale did those engines WERE NOT fresh and you know it....

as far as mine? yes, a lifter bore was issue, it was checked the "acceptable" numbers discussed were not accurate, so it failed, I fixed it and have 12 hours of trouble free super hard beatings, guess my dumb azz can build engines just fine.... and my m istake was to myself not a customer.... no comparison.....

in the end I am boating, Dale is not... that's due to you selling him junk... let's face it your history is not exactly clean pal....

Detonation will hammer the rod bearing right out of a motor. Pinch ring lands, bend rods, send rods out the side of the block and so on and so fourth. All it takes is 1 degree to much timing.

If the OP had the intake off how did he not see all the rust? Stevie Wonder could have seen all that rust...

I know that, but it does not always happen and if it did the pistons would show it, besides do you REALLY think that's what happened here? takes serious lack of fuel and lots of timing to detonate a N/A engine especially to beat the bearings out of it, I am not an idiot....

I have a piston from a Cobra engine in garage, melted, bearing looks perfect.... these engines were junk from the beginning, no debating that, sorry...

oh cut the chit,post 59 clearly shows a cam lobe that just had rust on it,run over by the lifter.that cams been rusting for years.your whole story is pure bullchit.you sold the guy sunk motors.

With a forged piston usually the rod bearing go first. But whatever. If the motors were good or bad to begin with and they were full of rust why wouldn't you stop as soon as you take the intake off? Makes no sense to me.
