Hello guys
I Just got a new engine from laskey raceing last month for $4000. Just broke it in and something bizarre happened. When the car got hot, it will stall easy and would not start back!!! I checked everything from all new sensors to sending my AEM ecu back to aem. Finaly looked at my crank pully and pushed in the clutch, and I had play on the pully…..
Picked down the engine and the first thing I saw was the thrust washer was in the pan. Not good. The crank is ****ed and the block is eaten away.
I did not even get to tune the engine or get on boost. Now that I saved up for two years and I don’t have anything.
I am sooo mad and pissed off that I just want to get rid of car.
I see that many people out there have the same problem. What did you do, did you go back to ACT?

Does any one have a 2.2 crank and block? I need one asap


Thanks

Er...uh...I dunno bit I'd be looking at the motor build if it failed that quickly.

crank

ya, there are numerous threadfs about this. Some people have bypassed the clutch pedal swith so upon startup you dont nned to press the clutch(reduces ware, but minimally). When you press the clutch the pressures gotta go somewhere !

crank

however with 200 miles? look at the build first before u blame the clutch !

wow a recent one, i thought act redesigned it, i was going to buy it a while ago but decided to get a competition clutch instead (still not installed yet and i got it over a year ago)...

I hate to bust chops ... but its NOT the clutch . Something was clearly wrong with the build .

Did you prime the oil pump before installing it?

ACT will say it was an engine build issue and the engine builder will say it was the clutch that did the damage.
I hope that someone does right by you and replace the damaged engine, good luck
