motors don't blow for no reason, either the engine was redlined for extended periods of time, boosted too much when cold or was overboosting to what the fuel system could handle.

either way a V8 sounds better for him since there is no boost to worry about.

I was not ever close to redline... i was at about 3000 in first gear. I think they used my apex seals from the last motor that went.
