I've heard of this happening several times, and it was always sub-par machine work. Bore size is HUGELY important to a long lasting hi-po engine setup.
Probably... Phillip didn't check again once it got to the shop- but he's run tons of engines through these guys before and never had a problem. Maybe they just picked my block to fuck up on. Who knows- either way, I won't run this same piston design again.

Check it out everyone... if some of you have heard the rumors of my new block build screwing up, here's the proof. These are pictures that I took yesterday of my block and pistons. Take note that the engine was only running for 3000 miles. That's it.
First link = Dead block pictures
Second link = Import Builders Super Duper vs Endyn Rollerwave
The links aren't TOO 56k unfriendly, but they are 2MB for the first link and 1MB for the second. Just give it some time to load.
Discuss... what are your thoughts?

How did you break it in ? from the pictures it looks as if it was revved to high to soon. and maybe some detonaition. IMO, I've done that before. take some measurements before you start blaming others.

MAYBE.... just MAYBE piston design had something to do with it. I blame the parts.

Leave the super fancy stuff to the people who can afford to rebuild their engines every 10k miles.
