Hint,

Don't try launching at 3200rpms and drop the clutch. It nicknamed me "SlowWhite"


Try Stutterbox it at about 5500-5700 (make sure your quick with the shift/gas pedal) cause you'll run throught the gear real quick.

I want to build my 7 bolt motor at least put Rods and pistons in it. But I don't like to have to rebuild twice

Also like to add my motor is completely rebuilt and now has 50k miles on it. No problems yet. (95%% of the time It's been beat on)

And on the whole Crank Walk thing. Personally as far as MN members go. From what I've read/heard from people More 1G's have CrankWalked then 2G's.


I'll be looking for Daily Driven 410-430whp once I'm done. And I might just for fun put in Rods and Piston's next year if I can find them cheap enough.

You guys can put all the money into a 7-bolt you want. It's not the rods and pistons that fail, it's usually crankwalk, which the fixing of hasn't really been solved yet. The 2.4 7-bolt hasn't proved to be a boat anchor yet, but the 2.0 liter 7-bolt has. With all the blocks in the boneyard, it's hard to justify building a 7-bolt.

Yeah, hopefully the 2.4 7 bolt proves to be a different story. Haven't heard of many crankwalked 4G64's as of yet. Only one and that was due to build error...

We did however come across a few problems with my setup in this process. The main problem was with the main girdle, Mike would be able to explain it better, but it was actually out of factory spec as it sat. It was twisted in effect. That has been fixed and a CRCO dowel kit has been added, so that thrust bearing isn't going anywhere! I have done everything I can to keep this thing from walking, so if it does, well I don't know what I'll do, but it won't be pretty ;) As far as things look right now, there is no reason this motor should walk, and I am confident in the builder and the machine work. Over all I feel pretty good about this build.

If I were to do it again though I would go 6 bolt. It would have been cheaper. Plus all of my reasoning for staying 7 bolt has since been thrown out the window!

Then it looks like the only thing left to worry about is that leg and crank killing 2900 and 6 puck. :)

What was the track? and its altitude? compared to MN.

I wonder what turbo he has on that thing.

T25 - on a 7 bolt :3gears:
