Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

Well I didn't get the motor out tonight, but I did pull the pan.

http://www.lse-performance.com/gallery/BOOM I would say its over.

It looks like the rod snapped off at the wrist pin after twisting (there appears to be other rods in various states of twist).

This of course came down like a battering ram onto the main girdle.

And ended up in many little pieces.

Atleast the rod bolts are still in tact, they are a little "worn" from impacting other shit while spinning around, but just a little rounded on the corner.

Oh and the block is fubar as well on the lower parts of the skirt it looks like. (Go to the link to see more damage, I"ll photograph it all when I get it more apart over the next week).
Woot!

So I am voting it was a straight up power issue. Weather or not it was a faulty rod is another story, but I did find the weakness in it :(.
More dissassebly and pictures to come in the following weeks.

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

wow, thats a lot of shit in the pan.

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

are you planning on getting it going for the fall?

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

All rod as far as I can tell, with a few pieces of main girdle.

I would love to, but funding was already low to begin with. It will be running when its running.

It is never easy seeing shrapnel, it is like the death of a pet, very sorry.

Damn, brings back painful memories. Sorry man. Just push it in the corner for a while and take some time to relax. (yeah right, i know)

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

Eek, and it still ran? Seems like a lot of damage for the little symptoms it had. Like others have said, hope part of it is salvageable.

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

Wow thats worse than I thought it would be. Are the turbos still ok with all those chips everywhere?

Re: Pulled my oil pan tonight...
 

That sucks, I was hoping to see that thing pwn some shit, good luck with getting it rebuilt.
