Added some power, toasted my engine.
Yep added a new 38r, 200cc hybrids from swamps, itp regulated return, dp tuner, afe stage II intake, and gauges. Took it for a test drive and ran like a top. Made it about 40 miles and broke something in the engine. My mech is thinking I may have melted a piston. It is something with number four cylinder so we will see next week. He is going to pull the engine out and we will go from there. Hopefully there isn't any major to the core. Any suggestions for adding more durability?

I keep wondering about the oil. That should be a question on all the engines that have went out. I would like to know how many are using synthetic. Just me.

Hmm, have you noticed a lot of engines running synth oil and having failures? I haven't been keeping track of that when I read these engine failure threads.

But your engine is still together. I'm just wondering what the % is. Nothing but wondering.
