Mine is already apart! I cracked a rear iron..

 

probably never. With my setup making 434 on stock ports, a nice rebuild and some porting will net me more HP then I really need.

 

The damage:

 

that's so gay

 

lol, i think mine will be a little worse.

motor's still in my car, figured i'd give you a head start with it.

 

dude cut your nails

 

Thats my nose picking nail!!

 

almost forgot, i plan on making a deck stiffening plate when it is out also, similar to what the FD guys have.

 

Pills not working anymore? You old guys and your gimmicks!

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

Glen is having the plates cryo-treated, so this shouldnt happen again.

 

So sad I really wanted to see 500rwhp on stock ports :-O

Anywho..

Is the S5 NA rear plate hardened..like the S5 T2? :-D?

 

Oh, I am sure it made 500 out the door. Probably more then that. Too bad it wasnt on a dyno!

 

jarrett, this is EXACTLY what happened to mine, but only two of the hairline cracks that you could barely see. i could let the car idle and it would just be a slow oil drip off the back of the block. i replaced it with a non-reinforced s5 rear plate and all was well...

 

looks like mine 4yrs ago, added 4 dowels and krakin gone !!!!!! o yea and a haltech

 

if i had the engine apart i would definitely pin it and cryo treat the rear iron and also add the deck plate.

i definitely don't want it happening again but, well, my time is limited..
