Wow, glad to see the story finally gets wrapped up.


... and to answer one of the orignal questions.... he reported it to the insurance company because he needed a tow. ...his inusrance company has roadside service to take broken down vehicles to service centers. The dealership service manager worked with the insurance company to check out the loss. :)

Re: Spartans Engine Swap (Engine Damage Pics on last page!)

Im guessing it was just time for your engine to go
I have used seafoam for years on so many cars,trucks,vans Not once has it ever caused issue in cars from 1960's to present day

Ive also heard people say royal purple killed their engines yet the cases are so far and few between it was probably just engine failure no real blame
 
Re: Spartans Engine Swap (Engine Damage Pics on last page!)

Well engines don't just blow for the hell of it.

Wasn't riding it hard.

Didn't have anything but MSD Igniton headers and CAI

nothing to **** it over with unraw power



Lack of Oil/overheating/ or an Additive generally is what causes Engines to fail.
 
Re: Spartans Engine Swap (Engine Damage Pics on last page!)

hot block cold water maybe who knows just dont see seafoam causing this
 


Re: Spartans Engine Swap (Engine Damage Pics on last page!)

but i didn't add any water to my engine.

didn't add anything except Seafoam and it was running perfectly fine before it.

The puddle cracked your block. It had absolutely nothing to do with seafoam. You need some amsoil for your new engine, since you always want the best.
