Blew up my LT5, Let the grieving begin. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I spoke to Marc briefly about your experience, and he told me that in his experience there is a tendancy for people to jump to conclusions - thinking they broke the motor - where he finds that to rarely be the case: something else is causing the problem (problem being spinning a rod or main bearing, that is). Hell, one of my first experiences with the Z was some spark cross-over due to mice having chewed my (LT5) wires. Talk about knock!

Could have injested something, or dropped a valve, or broken dual FW spring... No need to think the worst, is what we're sayin', I recon!!

Whats new? What have ya found??
