Popped that dudes tire. Karma just bit me in the ass hard and I mean REAL HARD! Scroll down for info:

So I have 4,XXX miles on my H/C and supporting mods and I drove behind my Maro on a scooter while a buddy drove it and the mother fucker is burning oil! She is smoking decent

So now I'm pricing 393 stroker kit from Eagle. Here is the specs:

"All Eagle Competition assemblies include our forged 4340 chromoly crankshaft, our forged 4340 chromoly H-beam rods, forged Arias pistons, Clevite77 race bearings, and moly Rings. Recommended for use up to 750 HP (1500 HP with optional ARP L-19 bolts)"

The crank is 4.100 stroke

Because I let him. I don't really care who drives my car as long as they know how to handle the power and do what I told him. I told him don't really beat on it, and he didn't

How do you know its burning oil from the lower end? rings,cylinders... What if it's a valve seal or guide? Just cause something is new,or has low miles,doesn't mean it's good

**SHines-IT** · 07-21-2010, 04:05 PM

But on topic, I hope you get your car fixed. Should be killer when done.

It's cool man, riding a scooter was a tough thing for me as well, but don't worry, you'll get past it.

Thats a good question. Hope it wouldn't be the valve seals or guide since they are new.

I don't know exactly what it is but it burns oil for sure.

No fun, I still want to see how well F-Body would do with fun bits... My mostly stock 98 Trans Am was not that great... But it also was an auto...

I do have to ask, why a scooter? I drive my friends wrecked GSXR 600, it's fun. I want to get a CBR or R6 (Different from every other GSXR). The sport bikes look cool and are still good on gas. But suck on long distance....

IIRC, Eagle cranks are made in China...

This is 100% true. I'd just hate to rip apart the heads and send them in if they are fine. I don't know what I'm going to do at the moment

**wheeliE-maxx** · 07-21-2010, 06:01 PM

leakdown test?

And you shouldn't use a 4.1" stroke in a stock block. The deep throw will pull the piston skirts too far out of the bore. Some builders won't even use a 4.0" crank in the stock block.

The LS7 has deeper sleeves to accommodate its 4.00" crank.
