For the haters and second guessers, bench racers and more.

According to them, the graphites failed in multiple places. Which from me staring at the steel ring 3 inches away from my face cannot see not ONE defect. But they are blown in multiple spots from a shitty picture taken at 1am with a 100w drop light in an otherwise dark garage.. Yeah.. Hmm???

I'm going back with 9333pt1 like the board suggested, and I'm using new arp head bolts. I'm also using the same plug that diabolic uses, yet I never listen to the board...

It was my fault and i was incorrect in thinking the headgasket failed. I was wrong, and jumped to conclusions and mistakes my water pump flowing water for "exhaust bubbles". And since when do you repalace a short block for a little carbon build up on the pistons? Got to be serious... Still has the crosshatches clearly visible, which is impressive to me.

Its all cleaned and it's fine, if you guys think it will blow then fine, I guess we will all see that it will be okay. And if it does, I obviously have the means of transportation to get things squared away!

I appreciate all your concerns and abusive warnings. I take everything I read here Into consideration. But some of the things y'all come up with, I wonder where you come up with it.. Lol

Oh and I got a steal on the entire n2o kit with accessories. And money isn't tight, I'm just on a budget.

so lemme get this straight...you STILL dont think the gaskets are blown? LMMFAO

imma put this here

Melting the plug was nothing more then a wet shot into the stock intake manifold. Which isn't a good idea to begin with, you know bad nitrous to fuel distribution through the upper intake. I'm sure the number 8 cylinder went wayy lean from not getting the fuel it needed and it detonated. It was not a tuning issue, it wasnt a mechanical failure of any kind.

If you think anything different well then, what? What else could do it?

It's a little something called, keep it simple STUPID.

Fucking stock car doesn't need a dyno tune to spray safely, you old school guys should know this... The only true benifit I'd gain would be the absence of a fuel cut rev limiter since my car is a 5spd.

No. I don't.

No. I don't.

LOL.With your mentality, you will never learn a thing. Your eye is not educated, and at this rate never will be. Good luck in your destruction.

I didn't ask for help in this thread, and im sorry I don't have the cash to drop on a built dart short block or a 351 roller short block. Of you'd like to donate I'll take any offers, but until then give up on the I'm not accepting help shit, that gets old.

I'm on a budget and a time frame. Excuse me for doing whats best for me, and not you.

A lot of the suggestions given were with the "budget" in mind. Danny suggested while you have it torn that far apart to throw new bearings, rings and oil pump in it, cheap and good idea to keep it going reliably for a while longer. There's a reason #8 had oil everywhere, either getting past the rings or valve seals(or both).

What's the point of the thread then? You are asking people questions in it, and they are answering them, just not to your liking.
We could just all say "Yeah, thats a great idea" and keep going along with it if you like?

[91CoupeMike]

Just double checked the gaskets, and guess what. The storm last night didn't blow them.

They still look fine.

Shall I take them somewhere to get a trained eye professional to look at them?

Maybe they will wear sunglasses and try to look at them in the dark.

I asked how to clean carbon off the pistons and remove old left behind gaskets.

Just for you paul. I took 16 pictures of the gaskets, close up individual cylinders. I took the time to take and about to up load them.

So take the time to point out what's wrong because I'm obviously missing something.
