My 3rd 4g63 Engine... Darn!



After opening Tammy's engine, this is what welcomed us... plus signs of hot spotting on cylinder 3, the piston and head have this rough and almost pimple like of dents on piston. Plus the block itself needs some rebuilding itself. So We ordered another engine for tammy



I grew tired of not having a reliable engine, and what tammy looks, honestly she has so many scratches, dents, dents, etc... can't bear what she looks right now...



so she's in for a paint upgrade... still thinking if i should stay on Anzhal triple 888 or totally change her color. what do you think?

To the moon and back on a trailer truck

So we know that Tammy broke down when im on my way to subic, hence i need to leave him behind going back to Santa Rosa...

I asked favor from Pilip (Child Of Owner of Philem Enterprise Inc. in Subic, hehehe) to park Tammy for a while in their compound, while i look for a tow truck

I was able to source out a tow truck and have Tammy delivered to Las Pinas...


Yellow brick road to SIR (RWYB 3rd round 09)

I stayed up late Saturday evening, was really trying hard to sleep early but unfortunately was able to sleep past 2 in the morning.

I wake up around 6 in the morning, (which is late if we thinking of going to subic and by 7:30 reg starts) still contemplating if i should race or not.. did'nt really think of it much, just drove to subic and tried to catch the registration.

I drove 180 kph from Santa Rosa to Edsa, mellowed a bit and then 180 again once in NLEX, then SCTEX, my engine has a speed limit, once you touch the 180 kph, it cuts the fuel... so i let it like that for the duration of SLEX, NLEX, SCTEX. which has a bad combination of low octane gas on a high comp engine...

I heard a early detonation (knocking) on my engine but didnt actually bothered to lower down the speed, which i think broke my engine. so after that NLEX, SCTEX pedal to the metal when i was approaching around 5 to 7 kms before the Subic toll, i heard knocknig again, this time with sudden loss of power... know i now im in trouble. so I limp my car on 60 kph thru the toll and stopped after the toll, and try to fix tammy, looked on the spark plugs, 2 cylinders are not creating power... oh my, was thinking did i made my head gasket blown again???!!! apparently not yet...

Called up some friends, Jun, Jeff, Pilip, Pat to help out... Guided me to a shop and tried solve the problem, but to no avail. So we came back to SIR to finish the RWYB 3rd round. Phat lent me his car.

Fortunately enough, I won third place for the 1.00 class... hehehe... thanks war car!



anyways its done deal for me for the day but a very very long one for tammy!
