Idk what went wrong i rebuilt my 26 with cp pistons (87mm) eagle rods acl bearings arp head studs new water and oul pump sent block and head to get hone and polished .. Cranks was micropolish also ..
I drove it like a grandma for 100 miles or so with regular oil , i changed the oil to sintetic .. I started wooting it on first and second for two days .. Last week i woot it on first and i heard a big explosion, it sounded like a bee r .. After that the car wouldnt boost and stumble like crazy ...
A week after the rebuild i did a compressuon test and i got this result
145-150 from 1-5 cylinder number 6 was 135-140
Ltwo days a go i didna compression test and cylinder number 2 had 0 compression .
I pulled the head off and i found this

There were acuff marks all over my piston and small piece of metal was stuck on the head ..
The spark plug was conplete so it wasnt
theres a scratch on the cilinder wall not to deep i can barely feel it .
the sparkplug .. What could of cost this ..
Im also concern of my low compression for being a brand new motor.
The block was bore to 87mm
Cp pistons
Eagle rods
Acl bearings
Cometic hg
Head was resurface and valve job was done also

Well first, learn to type cuz what you typed up was hard as fuck to understand.

But looking at how black the head and the pits on the pistons, shit was not tuned. Considering how black the head quench pads are, shows its either rich as fuck or that's oil (hard to tell from the picture). The pits on the piston are detonation pits. That's pretty bad for a brand new piston.

^^^Yeah Pitting is Pre detonation. look slike oil all in the heads combustion chamber.

Cometic H/G are garbage so wouldnt be surprised if that is why you lost compression.

When you actually got on it, what did you boost to?

Who did the tune? I second Sileighty, pitting is usually (9 out of 10 times) from pre-detonation.

Do all of the pistons look like that? Did you have an A/F gauge? Who put your engine together? Was everything about the tune and subsequent motor parts (besides pistons) stock?

Its hard to tell from your pictures, but it looks like your pistons might be hitting your heads. That might be why your pistons have marks on them and your heads have pieces of metal stuck to your heads.

Only piston number 2 .. Yes i had an innivate af gauge .. Stock tune stock injectors ,

Boosting 12

After having the head machined did u have the oil passages cleaned out. Some machine shops won't clean the oil passages out and metal gets inside them.

Stock tune and ECU...my guess would be you had the base timing too high when you put the engine back together.

Or, you're injectors are clogged.

Is that Copper Spray or Rust or both?

Pre-detonation.

Rings look like they didn't work either

LOL! :Owned:

Back on topic, I'm glad you figured it out. Either way I think it's awesome your doing it yourself but from what I understand of these types of builds, you have to double, triple check everything... that friend owes you some $$$
