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.

Re: After all the abuse...
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!

Re: After all the abuse...
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!

Re: After all the abuse...
I assume a full race built engine will be going in now? I for some reason don't believe your sig.

Question is if you'll outlast Allan. 
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.

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

Re: After all the abuse...
Was that Patrick's (I think that's his name) old shortblock with the 2G Pistons?

Re: After all the abuse...
Sucks to hear that Nash. Is this the same block from last season/year? If so, holy shit for it lasting this long. If they could have only made the rest of the car as strong as the motors are.
2.4 sounds like a good choice. "Get er done"

Re: After all the abuse...
That sucks man.
It's amazing it lasted as long as it did!
Side note... Congrats on quiting smoking. It's been over 5 years for me and I still want one every day

Re: After all the abuse...
We should have the valves covered. All of them in #3 hit pretty good. Hopefully it didn't damage the seats. That thing has been on borrowed time!
