Just got the call from AMS.....
Well oil was really low and car started knockin. So I had it towed to AMS and I got the official call today.

One of the Rod bearings were in the oil pan and the crank is shot.

I am upgrading to their stroker motor.

Anyone out there that has the AMS stroker got any tips or opinions?

probably upgrade the crank and rods for starters.

Well you can't go wrong with that motor. Sorry about the news though. I hate that. The waiting is the worst. But you're in good hands

Well when you go stroker, I think you have no choice but to upgrade the rods but sounds like a beast in the making.

Yeah nothing makes you realize the importance of checking the oil more than this. Yeah I should've checked the oil more often, obviously. At my mileage you didn't think it would get that low with out a drop leakin out and no noticeable blue smoke.

But yes regardless it should be checked.

jesus, low mileage, bad oil change?

i'm going to check mine now!

BUT on a brighter note, for $5k, you'll have a BULLET PROOF (as long as you put oil in it) ENGINE!! Pscyhed about the negine though, it'll be awesome. . .
