Well it’s pretty much the worst outcome I could have had.



Thought that was all the carnage.




Crank wouldn’t spin so I went into the case to see how bad it was.



Was cleaning things up trying to get all the piston parts out only to find a cracked lifter bore!

I’m gonna try and re ring my 1585 and just pull my cam and lifters and get something salvaged.

Damn! Subaru swap!

Based on what I think I am seeing I would suspect that the cam and maybe the crank and maybe at least one rod are also going to be dam(n)aged. Not sure on the block but that looks like a nasty potential lockup for sure.

Been a long time since I have seen that kind of damage... whoof!

Here's hoping for the best.

sorry about the carnage but,,Dam ,u flip up poop more that i do , gives us an excuse to build bigger & better :l

Bummer Dude.....that absolutely sucks........

Well believe it or not the hits kept coming!!!

Pulled my old engine down to add the c25 cam.

One rod seemed odd so I pulled it apart.




And one other rod had also spun the bearings so they double stacked!!!

I ended up swapping bearings to fit my old case, the crank I had for the new build my new cam and old heads and rockers.

Case is together but I’ll get after it this weekend.

Woooshhhh. Damn...

So I have a runner again!! And I think I get to claim the prize for most expensive cam swap!

Ended up with a 1585 still a C25 cam and stock valves and valve train.

Though she runs and that’s what matters for the time being.

Have developed a problem and I’m looking for insight, I can build boost in 1st and 2nd though in 2nd it’ll make 5psi at 3/4 throttle but if I bury it boost drops to 1-2psi.

If I put it on high boost (21 psi) it’ll only build about 12 psi. I had some shaft play so I’m assuming the turbo is dying but I have never felt one go.

Thanks.

Only thing i have ever seen is oil coming out the down pipe when they went bad.

Well…. The time has come to say good bye.

Baja is off to my friend in MO.

Thanks for all the help! Looking forward to starting another build soon!

Boo! Cool looking baja! Excited to see what you come up with next! Hope your friend joins in with us to see what becomes of it.

Well the Baja found its way back to me the start of this year. I got it back and dropped the 1585 out and swapped in my 2276 that I had.

Still working through tuning this set up and getting things dialed in.

2276 has a TCS-20 cam and runs in E85.

Glad to have the car back excited to get some passes on the car and have an eye on Drag and Drive events hopefully in 2025 but reality is more likley 2026.

Also looking at engine options and may start a new thread on that build still a turbo set up.
