I pulled the injectors yesterday and stuck my scope into each cylinders and watched as each piston moved up and down as I barred it over. It all looked great. So I started putting it back together yesterday evening. I triple checked the injection pump timing before closing it up.
Had to stop and put a carrier bearing in my dually and found the trans seal was leaking too, so after 3 trips in town yesterday, had to wait a day for the right trans seal to get in. I finished putting the truck back together this morning along with the dually.
Bled the injectors, and it fired almost right up. Sounded and ran much better than before the race. Was easy to start. BUTTTTTTT found the head gasket was blown on the front of the head. So, guess I'm ordering a new HG and fire rings for it monday and hope Haisley has them in stock when I call monday morning to order it and I make the cut this time when they ship.... Didn't last time and had to scramble to find a head gasket.
Not a very good pick of the scope screen viewing a piston...

So you still have no idea why it stopped running, but it is running now?

I didn't look back to see if you did a compression check. The first time we blew ours up, Will Terry nailed the problem. We had tiny pieces of material holding the valves open just a little bit. I lapped the valves in, filed on the pistons, honed, installed new rings and pistons where necessary, thing ran fine. Didn't mind beating on it a little harder after that. lol

Maybe just a set of pistons 'eh?? What pistons are you running??

I'm running machined down pistons because I'm using .80 longer rods for a 19:1 CR
No, I didn't do a compression check, rings are all intact from what I can tell so far by just looking at them from the top. Might be broken though.

Sent some emails and made a few calls today and have come up with my game plan. I'm going to be building myself a new engine long term, but to get through the next few weeks of races in June, going to find a set of std bore marine pistons, and put them in the engine and run it while I'm getting work done on a second block and crank. Once it's ready, we will pull my engine and swap all the needed parts over to the new block setup.
I'm moving from my s475 with 87mm hot side to an s480 with 96mm hot side and a 1.1 ar.
Will post more up about the new engine plans as I get them finalized and move forward on it.

Just curious why you selected the 96mm exhaust wheel? We have always ran the 87mm. Harder to spool for sure but more air up top.
Sounds like a good plan you've put together. At least you will hopefully get to race more.

need more air up top, that's what caused the melt down... talked to phil a little bit today on my converter, he thinks it's loose enough to handle the 96mm, if not, will ship it to him to get loosened up more when we drop the new motor into the truck.

Do you remember what your piston to cylinder clearance was?

No, I didn't put the engine together originally.

While waiting on my pistons to get done, spent a bit out in the shop today and pulled the pipes off the intercooler so I can drill the holes and weld in the bungs for the air temp thermocouple on the hot side and the pressure and temp for the cool side.
How do most people rig up the a pressure port on the exhaust manifold? cooper line for a while and then the gauge or sensor?
Should have the last couple of weld in bungs I need monday along with the ball hone I ordered to hit the cylinders with before going back together.

Think some /most put a particulate filter after the copper coil before going into hosing to the gauge.

We coiled a couple feet of copper up and then switched to plastic. We didn't run a filter and it worked for a while.

So will steel wool work stuffed into copper tubing work as a particulate filter?

JGS carries a particulate trap, I don't think its that expensive. He was a vendor on here.

While I'm thinking about it, any recommendations on an air filter? I keep sucking this big AFE one in....

I'm pretty fond of our air filters!!! They have a nice outer shell that keeps them from getting smashed, flow a ton, and are dry-flow so easily cleanable with compressed air.
We've tested these quite a bit with large turbo setups, even the big Gen 2 GTX5533 98mm chargers Todd runs on his truck haven't had an issue collapsing them and they consume as much or more airflow than almost every other turbo out there, I think 230 lbs per minute is the peak flow, about double what a Borg S475 flows.

Here's a video testing our new filter vs. the AFE 6" inlet, 9" Tall w/inverted top that I've been running for years on the Junker.
