Roush Engine problems

[vettestr]

Why the heck worry about 8 quarts or 12 quarts,? If Roush wanted 12 quarts I sure would not spend several hundred dollars to reduce the system volume.

Ron, I understand you are waiting for custom pistons to be manufactured if got the correct jist. What overbore or how many thou over the stock or original bore are they going? I know they are the guru's but seems a sleeve in the damaged cylinder would keep you from having to over bore the engine. What is the latest info on when you can come play? She sure has a sweet sound and a great rumble coming down the road.

Ron if they are boring your block and not just honing it I would have a big problem with that.
Do you really want a Roush 511 that has already been bored over?
Make them sleeve it or replace the block.
Imagine it the future if you ever need to just re-ring your motor you will have to custom order rings and heaven forbid you need to bore it some day you may need to buy a new block yourself because it has already been bored over.

Roush uses a CSX block for their 511's and can be safely bored to 527ci.

Jeff,
They are telling me it all depends on the pistons. They mentioned they expected about 2 weeks from last Friday. 1-2 weeks for the pistons to come in, put the motor back together and then on the dyno before it gets shipped back. I will believe it when I see the motor show up at Hot Rods by Dean.

Mikiec,
I hate to say this but I have to work Saturday and wont be there. I know given the club rules no one will miss me when I am not there. The only Saturday in the next month I could move my entire office out of the building so they can paint and put in new carpet is this weekend. On a brighter note, What weight are you down to now? I just dropped below 170 last week. Down 132 punds in 8 months!

If I am not mistaken, My 511 takes 12 quarts as well. Sandy, Is that was yours is taking?

Mine takes 8 qts. plus filter.

Specs from the Roush site for the 511iR says:
"8 Qt. Canton Fully Baffled Road Race Oil Pan w/ Powdercoat Finish"
