psu_Crash Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 It was good to see you guys even though I didn't make it to the dyno. Next time Phil I think you are on to something!What happened was my girl was driving. Pulling into sheetz she left it in gear when she parked. Then dumped the clutch thinking it was in neutral ... oops. I didn't think much of it until we came back out to leave and it rolled over REAL slow. One revolution per key turn and that was it. Blew my main fuse due to the starter pulling so much current so I had to bypass that. For some reason after the stall my engine became very tight. Put a wrench on the crank and I couldn't budge it. I though I was SCREWED!Then after a couple hours of me trying everything I could think of John and Nate showed up. I went to show them the issue and it rolled slow for a split second then turned over normally and fired up. Ran lean for a bit but then that cleared up and all was well.I don't understand what happened... at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Really? Cmon Mike, you know exactly whats wrong with it......Every engine swapper will tell you. About hour #3 in the parking lot I was definitely thinking if the G54 was toast I'm swapping this POS!But all is well ... for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well if you arent happy with it once you stop letting women mess it up (Sure Mike....there was a woman in the car.... ) thats one thing, but if you swap before you work out the bugs, I will hunt you down.

Skullzaflare Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Was there any videos or dyno charts? Edited April 30, 2014 by Skullzaflare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 SQR was the only one to actually run on the dyno.My starter was not the issue. Always cranks over fast and strong. Blowing the main fuse tells me it was cranking very hard. But why?? I can't say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't sayi have done what she did before...more than once lolive never had the issue you are experiencingunless the kick back made your cam jump time, and its causing to much pressure to turn easily? but doesnt explain why it went normal later and ran fine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I thought about cam timing too. Initially I thought it may have sheared the cam gear pin. But like you said it shouldn't have been fine after that. I checked ignition timing when I got home and all was well. I haven't pulled the valve cover because I see no reason too.My only other thought was that it somehow got hydro-locked from dumping fuel into the cylinders. Seems far fetched to me. I also thought that maybe the jerk caused a bearing to bind up some. No knocking so far to indicate any bearing issues.I think I'm going to chalk this one up to the SQ gods just didn't want me to dyno that day :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrngwae Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 ^^^^lol^^^^ perhaps it was an accessory starting to lock up like the alternator or water pump.........if it was im sure you will know soon. but daymn those SQ gods. hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I thought about the accessories but they seemed to spin fine. Just wasn't my day man lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
