fellas, i spun a rod bearing last night in my tta after kicking it in the ass at 45mph . i was running razor's alky w/ meth @ 25psi with a te-61 when all of the sudden the scanmaster showed 43 degrees kr (i didn't know that was possible) . so i imediatley get out of the gas and hear the dreaded sound of a rod knocking.
so now a complete rebuild is in order and i'm wondering where to go for the work. i won't even attemp assembly of the longblock but can handle the rest. (rnr, etc) i would greatly appreciate any info here. the last time i hade engine troubles on a tr i was lucky enough to buy a gm short block back when they were still available.
on a side note, have any studies been done on rod bearing stress at crazy boost levels like 25 psi and up?
