33GTRV Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well, pretty devo. Looks like I have lifted the head or cracked the block. Got to 860 odd hp and it went and blew the radiator apart. Back to square one. Fingers crossed it's only a lifted head.

33GTRV Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Okies. Looks like its a new n1 block and sleeves. After having a stock and n1 block rayed and sonic'd there is no difference in bore strength. Ill be going a big head and single throttle this time as well. stay tuned for pics of the broken engine.

JH32 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Saw your post in the Precision thread and thought I remembered you had a build thread - no updates in a long time!
