RPM's are your enemy.Originally Posted by Dirty Mech.
My first LS1 came apart at 7100 rpm when a rod bolt started to back out due to the stock rodbolts being utter failures in the LS1 cars. Luckily all it did was spin the rod bearing on that particular one... it didn't sound good at 7k tho.
and again how do you pop a n/a motor if you dont exceed the rpm limits... like you rod bolts lol.... weak.... or valvetrain like the valve spring rpm or lift... i mean like tuning how do you pop it... i just dont see how...i hear knock pull 2 degrees timing... then your golden... wtf... i dont get it...Originally Posted by ThackerSS

On most cars the knock sensors sensitity is turned down a good bit. At least on my camaro its turned down to ignore a good bit of knock as most of it is considered "false" knock.Originally Posted by Dirty Mech.
Another one of my friends ls1's came apart due to a lean ass tune which was causing his #8 cylinder to detonate like crazy. It was beating down on the piston so bad that when we pulled the motor apart that rod had a very slight bend in it.
Now that is some serious knock.
a real tuner listens in headphones and knows what real knock and engine noise is. and if you had a rod bend because of knock... you had a REALLY bad tuner because that kind of knock is deff noticeable!Originally Posted by ThackerSS
