nice ya my dad has been using valvoline since he had his first car. he even used it in his 427 69 camaro and never any problems u just change it at 2000 mi or tops 3000 mi. u really dont need those synthetics unless u dont change ur oil that often or somethin

 

nope, i drive about 2800 miles in 2.5 weeks. so i change it at the most every 2800 miles

 

Well you gonna reconstruct the whole thing? It looks like the inside got torched to.

 

the pic that i showed was my 99 s10 that burnt up...and its long gone...

i am going to put a new motor in my blazer...

 

Oh Gotcha, thanks for putting that up there i was like man that is gonna be some rebuild.

 

Well that sucks that you blew a rod. I know drperry did to with an '05 blazer with less than 60k miles. It is a perfect time to upgrade to a v8 if you got the cash. From what I understand a 350 does well in the blazers.

 

yeah there is someone running around here with a LT1 Blazer. man that thing is Fast, but doesnt get much traction. i think he has it set up for AWD...not sure tho, only seen him a couple of times...

 

Yeah, my #2 piston also busted the rod...

I was told it was my #2 piston before I looked that far underneath! lol.

No noise for me either, just gave a little jerk... Though, still accelerated after that first jerk for a second or so

I thought it was the fuel pump quitting until I saw all the oil underneath...


I posted up about it on ZR2USA and one of the guys was like "I bet ya the intake valve retainer on the #2 piston let go, dropping the valve, and when the piston hit it, it snapped the rod."


40,139 miles and mine went poof

 

Hope you get it fixed soon and back on the road soon!!

 

well its getting a new/rebuilt motor as we speak. so im not sure. i donn owhat happend dont care. as long as i get it back soon thats all...
