    Spoolfool's Christmas time contest.

    Carnage! I have a carnage story. Not a buick, though you didn't specify. It was a turbo V6 though. 1994 Ford Probe. I ran this car from 2019 until I sold it in 2024. The engine had almost 300,000 miles on it, so naturally I threw an Ebay kit at it and doubled its output. At the 2021 Pine...

    Head Porting

    It's getting hard. My guy retired and the youngin's don't want to deal with cast iron.

    What did the box look like? Probably whacked in shipping. record it on video and send them back.

    Today’s Carnage…!!! It’s Broken Pretty Good

    Yup, you can tell from the texture across the break. It's really coarse. Each one of those depressions was probably some kind of contamination. The fact it failed so uniformly is a tad scary. I'm surprised that head isn't porous and leaking water through the casting wall.

    Valve covers

    Yup. Few have survived this long, but that sticker was there from the factory.

    site is completely riddled with ads

    This shit ain't free. Here's what it looks like if you support the site: My experience is fantastic. Didn't cost that much. And this place has saved me thousands in terms of time saved keeping my bucket running.

    8HP swap?

    That's the thing about the 8HP, it doesn't seem to have problems like the others. And it's still in production, so we're still in the part of the timeline where if you pop one, it's still cheaper to just go get another instead of cracking it open and fixing it. Set the busted one in the corner...

    8HP swap?

    An 8HP is an unequivocal upgrade from any four speed transmission. It's a clutch-to-clutch all planetary design (no drums, no bands). It has eight gears so no matter where you are in terms of speed, if you mash it you're going to get a downshift and acceleration, even at 150+. It's rated for...

    Youtube GNX video

    You don't understand Youtube. The guy makes money from video views and engagement. That means showing folks that have no idea what they're looking at something cool while driving engagement by getting folks like us active in the comments arguing with the uninformed.

    MOA 115

    The pumps are working fine, it's the same basic principle as the pumps in our transmission. The root cause appears to be too much chamfer on the crank journals, causing a low pressure area, along with poor QC and machining debris being left inside various engine parts.

    MOA 115

    All the change from 0w40 to 5w40 is, is to get engines that haven't failed yet through the warranty.

    Flex plate

    Well, I mean, MY engine is internally balanced... Cost me a pretty penny and a fair stack of Mallory metal to get it there, but... could I use this obscure fact to perpetuate an argument on facebook? Yes.

    Youtube GNX video

    Yup. I'm in the comments telling them not to put the UCAs back in the rear. Tyler Hoover acts like a goof in his videos, but he's far from dumb.
