So motor number 3 is coming out and being cracked open. A not so brief summary of the last 40 hours
Woke up early yesterday morning, went to work, came home late, paid some bills, reserved a hotel in Bethleham PA, spent an hour on the phone with a good friend discussion paint, spent an hour on the phone with a woman, got into the car around 10 ish..... I think. Dropped the fuel tank, changed the sock, for the third time, cleaned the main filter, swapped tanks, got everything inspected, double checked, running great, took all the old gas and dumped it in my boat, ran to the gas station and put 5oz premix in a 5 gallon jug, added 3 gals gas, put that in the car, drove the car to the gas station, picked Roen up in Queens around 3 in the morning, drove to PA and got to the hotel @ 5:30ish..... Roen PASSED THE FUCK OUT soon after the PA border and it was all I could do to keep the hysterics down as I watched this bobblehead in the seat next to me bounce around, snore and drool for the better part of an hour. The bastards canceled my room. So we had breakfast, grabbed a LOT of coffee, a few Red Bulls and headed for KDR - early for once. So we hung out until 10:30 until we strapped the car down. I asked Dave if we could do a compression test before we started on the dyno just so we knew. I was heartbroken. Front rotor is screwed with 3 bouces of unevenness with the low being 101 and the high around 113 and one in the middle. The rear was PERFECTLY even but low at 115 I think. I haven't slept in 40 hours incase you didn't realize.
Now, after the motor had some idle time I compression tested the motor and it was ~125F & ~130R. The compression should have gone up. The only thing that we can think happened was the seals warped or something bad happened during th high 13 AFR 20 PSI spike. The 15 PSI spike made 346 @ 4800.
Dave and I spent HOURS UPON HOURS today combing through a bunch of different datalogs and the map itself and there is NOTHING in EITHER that would cause the motor to be damaged, save those two pulls last week.
Inspecting the plugs showed really nice rich running evenness and the results of a healthy amount of premix becuase I was over oiling her. 8OZ in the tank plus the OMP.
What we think happened was the epoxy coating in the tank that claimed 3 socks and 3 filters made its' way past the filter and into the injectors. Pinning one of them and allowing a lean run condition. The Closed Loop Lambda is set to allow for 20% enrichment and 5% enleanment. During the dyno pulls last week we were seeing high 13's. This was really becuase of a lack of fuel pressure. What might have happened was the front was way lean and the rear dead on giving the average of 13.9. Not to mention for the last 1100 miles when the L was pig rich, the front could've been lean and the rear WAY rick. We'll find out soon enough as the injectors are going to Tim Marren tomorrow morning so hopefully by Friday I'll have an answer on the injectors. They are being sent labled so if his says serial #whatever of fucked, and can say, yeah, that was #1 secondary, that killed the motor.
With luck I'll have the motor apart this weekend and we'll be able to see what happened and what needs replacing. I'm so depressed, 4 motors in 4 months WTF?!?! I think Dave is almost equally dissapointed. He said again today if there ever was a car that could make 400RWHP sequentially, it's this one. Again, Dave is a fricken saint and a joy to work with, even under these circumstances, I can't say enough good things about him.
On that note, good night and sig changed.

Depending on what class they stick me in next week will determine if they go on or not. If they stick me in the Novice class, I'll run the Azenis, if they put me in Street Mod, the RA1's will make their debut. I was the ONLY person in SM that wasn't on race rubber and while I didn't throroughly get my ass handed to me, lets just say it was gentle placed on my lap 
I really don't understand why people don't get that. Even my buddies Fiance asked, "why is it "Oh-Pistons?" Maybe becuase we're dropping an LS in his TII? Dunno, maybe I should pimp slap both of them? Dunno. I don't orgasm over pistons, they generally wet themselves when I'm around............ the ladies too 
Mr. Spoolin, panty wetter extradinaire 
Good luck man.
