Blew New Engine before breakin !!!

Yup , the first 2nd gen to have mid 13s (soposevly) with time slips and dyno results just blew up so im retiring to go to colledge and selling the car.

My ? is what caused this one to blow so early ???

My rear header runner to the rear rotor was glowing red hot...And my timing was advanced alot. The car did run really hot but the temp gauge and oil were completly fine ???

Compression numbers are as follows

Front rotor HOt engine
1.5-1.6-4.8
= 254 RPMs
Rear Rotor
5.3-3.8-4.1

I replaced all injectors just in case one was running lean...Nope still ran shitty

Then replaced all plugs and wires as well.
Still shitty

No leaks or anything whatsoever , all silicone vac hoses exc...

Compression shitty , wtf ?

Didn't you rebuilt it yourself??
First time? Maybe something just didn't seat right.
Strange how your rear rotor ran hotter/leaner, but your front one blew.
Man that sucks huge. I know the feeling, but I just don't know when to cut my losses and move on!

Perhaps it was an electrical problem preventing the front primary injector from running right? Sounds like you were mega rich in the rear...

If the car is running hot, with very advanced timing, detonation is inevitible.
