Hey gang, been on here more recent getting help from the community for the recent engine swap. Thanks for the help!
So I did the swap (used motor had 177km on it), adding South Bend stage 2 clutch, 034 motor mounts, new tranny mount, braided clutch line took double pully of original motor and added to swap, stage 3 IE tune.
Ran beautiful for an hour, got on hwy, accelerated to merge on traffic
And boom, blue smoke, misfire. Piece of cyl 6 broke off. Shit luck.
Suggestions, rebuild and sleeve? Is sleeving going to be stronger? I'm at the point gang to sell car as is, and stay way from the motor or audi...funny, I couldn't kill my b7 a4. That 2L is strong.
