Rod.

To get to the point... I have a B18B1 block..with benson sleeves(RIP to him), manley rods, cp pistons 9:1, acl bearings, a moroso oil pan, fluidamper pulley, engine bored to 1.9.. The thing is I had it tuned by Tony Palo out of Dallas,TX. We had tuned it very well. A month later a rod bearing spun. So I broke it all down and sent my block back to Benson in California. He fixed it all back up, took it to the dyno again, after a few runs it spun again. Tony and I couldnt figure out why... the reason im here. Im trying to see how much I can sell this block for in this condition???

well those blocks are a dime a dozen man i would salvage what parts you have and build a gsr ect... you caint really rev high as you would like on it. that stinks man did you contact benson again? what was your break in time like?

nsxter

dont listen to this guy , he thinks you cant rev it because its a ls block, well sorry to inform you cleansi you dont know how to read his motor is running manley rods, Rod what bearings are you running and what was the clearances on the rod bearings

Rod.

acl bearings..the clearance I forgot. I had this block in my garage for about 2yrs or so covered up. I thought i was going to find a hatch shell to put it in but I think Im going to get out of the scene
