View Full Version : After all the abuse...
My motor finally went boom! Looks like the number 3 rod got sick of pushing the piston up and down and decided to brake in half putting a nice size hole in my block and bending some valves.
FUCK, that's gotta suck. And to think you tossed 40psi at it less than a year ago and she took it like a man!
And to think it went while I was only running 15psi. It was just quick pull in 1st that did it. I'm suprised that it lasted this long. Stock bottom end and all!

I assume a full race built engine will be going in now? I for some reason don't believe your sig.
Build 2.4 is what's next. Guess I can join the cheaters club. My sig is that I quit smoking.

Question is if you'll outlast Allan. :D
Sucks to hear about the engine, but even you said it wasn't going to last forever. There's always bigger and better things. :)

I hope I outlast Allan. I don't ever want to have another smoke.
I was actually laughing after I got the car into a parking lot and opend the hood to see a nice chunk of my block sitting up near the intake manifold.

Yeah I was wondering about the quiting I heard it blew up... though you were done with dsm's. Good luck with the future build.

Nice hole in the block. I guess I should build a 2.4 now as well.
