Default lots of bad news

Well I have not been on here in a while so I will get you all up to speed. Well to start the summer I added some new parts carbonware hood roush bumper and wing so life is good right! Well 4 days out of paint and I have my 1st race a 2003 zo6 well I blew it up 4 days out of paint and the 1st race of the year what a way to start the year. So I was like sweet time for some upgrades so I got forged rods and pistons and a new block went from a 3.33 pullie to a 2.9 non slip pullie and a intercooler a sct big air maf dual cobra pumps well you get the picture. I put it together with the help of a close friend. Well we get it all in the car it fired right up ran good I was on top of the world. 2 weeks later I start to lose oil psi well I look at the sensor looks lose so I wigle it and my ol lady said when I move it the psi bounces back up so ok bad sensor. so it dose not do it for a long time over 1000 miles so we take it to the dyno make good power all is well. well 1700 milesI start to here a knock well it get worse and worse so time to rip it back down. We get it all apart spun a rod bearing and the thrust washer was eating the crank. So time for a new crank so now we start to put it back together well it is a weekend thing only well a month ans a half later we just got it back together. We go to start it click so we put his blue top in the car it almost starts but it did not now it wont even crank just click.so I have no clue what is going on so it is a wireing thing or the motor is stuck I have no idea WTF is going on with this car. so I will just have to try andpush start the car and see if it fires if not and I cant figure out what is wrong I am done for the year.I am way to busy with a new job and lil one on the way. so 3000$ and 4 months later life just really suck [sm=boohoo.gif][sm=sigh.gif]sorry about the rant guys I have had a ****ty summer to top it all off woodward is in 2 days[sm=smiley19.gif]

Dang that was difficult to read.

The bad news was not nice either. Sorry to hear about all that. Don't try to push start it until you're sure it's not seized though. Try to turn the crank over by hand with a breaker bar first. Otherwise you'll tear something up (if you haven't already).

Check your starter wire. It sounds like you have a short. I hope you upgraded your oil pump.

Man that sucks. Did you figure out exactly what caused the bearing to spin?
