That's awesome to hear! You are an inspiration to look adversity in the face and say FECK OFF!
Thanks man, if this wasn't my daily driver I wouldn't have a engine for awhile. IT HAS TO BE DONE
Got the cam out soaked it with pb blaster. It's going to need a buff job but still usable.
That's the worst

Crazy.
Never blow a engine up, I tried to blow up my old 350 but it wouldn't let go.
You didn't try hard enough.
I used to run it 2 quarts low on oil and come off th freeway and hit neutral to let it sing for about 30 seconds.
At a time before I wasn't the nicest on this truck. I didn't want to drive it anymore and it wasn't very fun.
Fast forward and it's a blast to drive haha

this time running with no oil pressure worked. just messing with you. blown engines equal large cash out lay. never fun for the wallet. you have come a long way on this project, wish you all the GOOD luck on the new power plant.
Engine should be here Friday, the machine shop has my comp cam should find out tomorrow if it is usable and the ecm will be delivered to team208motorsports tomorrow.
Hoping to get the engine back in this weekend and once the ecm makes it back, I'll be data logging and driving the truck again. About a week from now it should get it's 3rd first start.

You need injectors if you are going to run that cam...........
Is it possible to baby the engine until I get bigger injectors? After all I do need to break it in, don't think I'll hit duty cycle to hard.
I sure do appreciate it, you have gone above and beyond.

What cam were you running?
It's a xr259hr what I like to call a "rv cam"

No problem. I'm just here to make sure stuff runs correctly. With your injectors, you could break it in that way but I have always broken in an engine one way. Go or blow.
If you need to, I have a few extra sets of flex fuel injectors here. Call them a loaner until they aren't. You will need to purchase adapters for them but at least you know they will be enough.I said it before, with the passing of EagleMark someone needs to step up and help. He helped me plenty, if anything I would thank him as he paved the way a tuning company should treat it's customers.

Hands down that would be amazing, I wish I would have talked to him more. I have already looked into the flex fuel injectors, just not in my budget at the moment. Come tax season I will be in the market.
