Does that..
"Surefire"..
Mean that when you started it, and the smoke began,
you said: "Sure looks like it's on fire"???????
Time to start over. Maybe, diagnose the failure in the first engine, B4 you lean on another build??
1. Blew it up w/ broken crank. Why?
2. Blew 2nd engine up, after 61 mi. Why?

Water in combustion chamber will do just that.. look like a steam engine.
The problem is crate motors are not built to take boost.. they are fine with an NA application.. at best. Head gaskets, bearings, rings, etc are usually the cheapest they can obtain. No surprise it went at 61 miles.

An Autozone reman engine?
It would be a riot to take it apart and see the "quality" of the build.

NOT EVEN GONNA ATTEMPT. DROPPIN IT BACK OFF AT STORE. GONNA LET MY BUILDER EXAMINE. I KNOW BOLT ONS, NOT INTERNALS. STILL LEARNING. IM TAKIN IT TO A GUY THAT USED TO SPANK DON GARLETTS ASS BACK IN THE DAY. I SEE HIS MOTORS AT THE TRACK EVERY WEEK RUNNING WITHIN 2 TENTHS EACH RUN.
IVE TALKED TO GN1 ABOUT HIS STROKER KIT. HE TOLD ME THAT I CAN RUN WITH STOCK HEADS. I THINK IM GONNA SEND THEM OFF TO FIND SOME "MAGIC". IM GOING THIS FAR.... MIGHT AS WELL TAKE IT THERE, FAST.
WITH MY FIRST SETUP, I RAN A HIGH 11'S @ 116. THAT WAS SPINNING FROM THE HALF WAY DOWN THE TRACK. SINCE THEN, I'VE PUT REINFORCED LOWERS IN THE REAR, AIR BAGS, M/T SLICKS, AND A PTC 10" IN 200R. WITH THIS STROKER KIT, I SHOULD BREAK 10'S. (IM GUESSIN
) STILL, A DAILY DRIVER. JUST LOOKIN TO EMBARRASS SOME JACK@SS WITH HIS BOYS OR WOMAN BESIDE HIM CRUISING THE STRIP. ALL THIS IN WE4 TRIM! PIPE DREAMS?
