......that sucks, but i'd really like to know how in the blue hell that happened..

 

yeah me too..I think someone messed up the oil change...overtightented the oil filter



P.S. I'm drunk

 

 

whats that gota do w/ a busted motor? damn hijackers...

haha

anywho... i can picture what happend in my head and it all makes sense... i just cant figure out what caused the rod to break in the first place.

the head is all but perfuct... it only has 2 bent intake valves on the cylinder w/ the busted rod... so 2 new valves, lap them, and throw the head back on w/ Mitsu HG and ARP studs.

and for some reason, the #3 main journal is blued... like a stainless steel header kind of blued. i gots no idea what the frick happend there.

im gonna try to salvage the remains, and pull the other 3 good pistons/rods and mic the crank to see if its still in spec. if it is, its goin up for sales. same w/ the pistons and rods... gota check for rod stretch and out-of-round ness on both ends... well you know how it works.

 

son...do not force me to raise my voice

 

ill second that!!!

 

Damn dude. You guys did a great job on that thing. If I need my shit blown up, I know who to take it to.
