well, I can't say I don't know that pain... the last engine that was in my car randomly spun a rod bearing without warning, or defined reason after only a couple hundred miles.
for the most part, I don't see an issue with burning the program while the engine is running, I do it all the time with my car, that said, I'm usually not messing with trigger offset while the engine is running, and that is something that I think is probably best done on a non running engine based on the nature of how quickly things can go wrong, especially if something were accidentally fat fingered, say a 10.0 accidently becomes a 100
have you considered putting a bore scope in it and checking for internal damage before pulling the engine? depending on what happened, an in car repair may be possible, although by the sound of things that doesn't seem likely.
good luck with repairs/moving forward.

Sometimes there is a hiccup, and it seems like there may be a jump in timing.
Normally I don't shut off the engine completely; I just click "Burn" when the engine is at idle, where damage is less likely. |

Hi La Fiera. I just read through all 13 pages. what a cool racecar you have put together. Cool think out of the box engine mods. Just wish I could watch your videos. I have been working on mine for 29 years and its still nothing compared to yours. I will never race mine but it will see some track days. sleek

Well, she did pound a bearing as you can see I didn't have to look no further. Metal flakes are non magnetic. I want to see what I find in the filter. So I'll use this opportunity to do some upgrades to this 3.7L. Get rid of the heavy rods and use lighter pistons with lighter rods and also use top gapless rings. Stay tuned!

So it's probably a bearing on one of the rods ? Sleek

I've also just finished reading through this thread in it's entirety as well as your 3.4 build. Hats off to you, sir and thank you for sharing your journey with us! How can I gain access to your YouTube videos? It's such a tease reading things like "turn up the volume" and not being able to join in the fun..

He deleted his youtube account, and switched over to Rumble. Here's a link to his channel: https://rumble.com/user/LaFieraV6
That said, I haven't been on PFF in awhile. Dang, that sucks about the engine. I've also been guilty of flashing the MS while idling, and never had a problem. That's weird. Hopefully, you can just toss a bearing in it.

Thank you very much the encouraging words! Since I have 2 other engines I'm taking this set back as an opportunity to install my other 3.7L with some upgrades. You can see the progress here https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...5065-4.html#lastpost
