Cool man, I have spoken to Bill a bunch of times, and ordered a ton of stuff from him. i didnt know they were the same shop. Solves my problem right there. Thanks guys.

Now I could send it up to JC Performance, but now that they are big time, they are also big time prices.

im in for the 5th and 6th, just made a reservation, Phil hope it all comes within your budget and time frame , seems like you will have your choice of checkmates if you need a lift. Mark i will be in touch, you did nothing over the weekend to diminish your role as team leader. i think your stuck with it , with knowledge comes great responsiblity. or is that with drinking comes great responsibility?????? anyway thanks for leading , John we saw you heading out of lloyds we were anchored out along the shore near the mouth of the sassafrass, we were so beat and tired, it was a long day we were up at 5 and i guess it was 530 or so when we saw you heading home , boat sounded sweet, when we got back to northest Phil had just been dropped off by tow boat, how ironic we all left at the same time and returned at the same time.

I have seen that boat on here before, and i saw it at the chesapeake in a few months back. Sweet looking boat for sure.

Philm

Whoa Whoa, I wasnt team leader. That was Mark. Too much responsibility for me to handle.

Looks like this might just be the end of the season for me, because I figure that this is going to be more than I can afford right now. Anyone want to trade a blown 598ci/800hp N/A for a 525efi????? straight up trade.

phil, just start calling around to all the big motor builders, cobra in fla comes to mind. they are always getting in new 525, 500 efi takeouts. i would have jc performance do the engine and let them put it on a consignment type of deal. actually they might be the best deal if they even slightly stand behind their work. a motor with 60 hours is very low time. keep me posted on your progress. mark

Mark I think your right about Phil going back to JC and see if they can do anything to help him out. With only 60 hours on the engine, I would think parts failure or some adjustment spring pressure issue. I understand the whole high perf. clause but they might be able to work something out. If their shop is on good terms with the parts manufacturers they can work some magic and maybe get them to kick in parts or something. Phil, what did the piston(s) look like? Just one cylnder affected and one head? Keep us posted.

Philm

nope, two cylinders, both heads. Opposing cylinders, boat of them intake valves. I havent gotten the heads off yet, i have been pretty busy. I guarentee that the port piston is destroyed, as 3/4's of the valve was gone.

I will get in touch with Jeff at JC and see what can be done and what my options are. I am seriously considering getting it fixed and then selling it, to pick up a 525efi. Just seems to be a much more reliable setup that will still run me over 80mph.

Am I the only one finding that kinda wierd? Opposing cylnders? What would cause that? I think that would require an explanation from someone. Multipul cylnders is strange enough to happen at once. I could see random cylnders maybe, but opposing just strikes me as a wierd coincidence. Which cylnders?
