As a few of you heard, I blew up my motor couple days ago.

I was running e85 with BAP + stock fuel pump and it looks like it went lean during a 5th gear freeway pull. Lesson learned, stock fuel pump and boost on e85 don't mix. From the excessive oil burning and plug inspection, Number 8 piston has a broken ringland.

I was going to pick up the aluminator and sell my old motor, but that plan is toast.

Current plan:

Pull the motor, inspect for damage and send the block to MMR for their 1000hp rebuild. Heads should be ok, since I did not poke a hole in the block, I am hoping minor bore cleanup should be ok.

I will also buy a new return fuel system most likely fore dual 465's E85 ready.

I will also get a new clutch, most likely McLeod RST.

Here is the pic of the plugs, you can guess which is number 8.
