Well I finally got tired of hearing the thing miss and started in on pulling engine around 2 o'clock today. Finished up pulling the engine and with the tear down at around 9 o'clock. Didnt really see anything wrong with the rods or mains. Rings looked ok as well. I did find a few aluminum shavings at the bottom of the intercooler and also in the intake. Have no idea where those could have come from. Didnt tear the heads apart yet to look at them. Kind of thinking there are some problems with the shavings keeping the valves from seating all the way. I am just going to go ahead and have the crank, block, and heads checked at by the machine shop I took my engine to. Hope to have her up and running here by Halloween.
 
nope... supercharger looked fine... nothing there... Not sure where they come from.... I know they wont go back... LOL I flushed everything out. I am thinking someone tried to be helpful and grind down a couple welds so smooth them out and didnt clean the pipe out...:eek:
