well yesterday i removed the blown jspec, drove it to newark, picked up the new one, stripped the new one, installed the new one, bolted it down. as of 3am this morning all that is left is to connect the wiring harness and put on the UIM etc. should only take another 2 hours or so https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

sounds goog vosko, hope it starts alright! ^_^

better than goog, its good! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

a non blown coolant seal will be a plus. this engine looks alot healthier. i believe the other engine had half of it rebuilt at one time...

w00t



Let's hope this one rolls! Don't they claim to have pre-tested all the j-specs?

they are compression tested. there is no way to test the coolant seals....

whats to happen to the old one? is it looking for a home?

He took it back.

i gave it back. he is gonna rebuild it and probably use it in his race car

Best of luck to ya. Did you get the new motor for free? Or did they not have a warranty of such? Good luck, I guess it takes a little more abuse for Vosko to learn a lesson, lol....

You could try pressure testing it with coolant in the motor. You'll probably be able to see some leaking if the seals are bad.

replacement engine was free. just had to rent another hoist, drive there, etc. it will be worth it as long as this engine is good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

You could try it while the motor is out of the car if you have everything plugged while you do it. If water doesn't leak on the outside it may be leaking to the inside.

Good luck, I havent heard good things about these J=specs right out of the crate

Yeah, you should be doing much better very soon. <_<

Just outa curiosity, whats the mileage on that motor of yours?

About 15K.

I guessed 10K damn...you must drive A LOT...you've only had that motor for like 3 months or so i thought..oh well.

Well, only a few thousand since I last rebuilt it.

Yea, thats what i ment, the rebuild, lol....its all good. It sucks that thing blew so early though...crazy t78s https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

That was quick...way to go.

i wanted to go drag racing today that doesn't look likely :( well i drove it around the block was fine lots of smoke which is too be expected but i DEF have a vacuum leak. i have no clue where! there are only like 2 vacuum hoses on my entire engine.... hmm

Use some carb cleaner to try to find the leak.

i'm gonna do that after i get off work https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR

oh yeah when i got it started, shot a 5 foot flame into my garage and a few moments later backfired like a shotgun blast https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I drove with just a downpipe just for kicks, and it was unbearable.

i drove my old TII with no exhaust...... i was deaf for a few minutes....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i used to drive my chevelle around with no exhaust. actually it was a 307 with just headers. that was loud, sounded good though
