finally whole again!

expy had been having issues since about last november or so. we eventualy tracked them down, through a lot of trial and error (and money),and ended up putting in a low mileage used engine. last night was the culmination of the work, when we brought it back to the dyno to get everything tuned properly again. so happy to have the beast back. she's a monster again!!!

Not taking shots, but do you think the demise of the last motor was because of the mods?

nope. had the setup installed in jan 07, and ran fine up until last fall. a very small part of the cylinder wall flaked off, creating the compression issue. my mechanic said it looked like a engineering flaw more than damage caused by driving. it's so minute that it could be bored over. i don't race the truck, and maybe went wot 2-3 times since 2007.
