So......a little carnage

[klatt_89]

Heads and valves checked out perfectly fine, took them by a shop and they looked over them. Pistons or pieces never met them, i'm guessing as soon as the rod went the engine halted as soon as it hit the top, side and the final side resting point. I'll post close ups of the combustion chambers. I'm not gonna give up on the project, it'll just be a slow one now that it's nippy out!

That sucks man, aw well at least there are some good parts left on it!

 

[klatt_89]

That is very true. All the timing, heads, oil pump, water pump, intake, oil pan, oil pick ups a little screwed now, but there was a lot of good parts. Crank could be used but i think it may take part in muh table . Depending on who's working tonight i might have someone help me carry in the engine and tear the rest of it apart

 

[klatt_89]

And a few of the included intake. Lots of pipes.

Not a bad deal if i say so myself.

Says the guy who lives in Texas...try workin on your rig when it's below freezing and then see how much you like it. Then try it when there's ice all over the place, when it's 10*, your hand sticks to the tools and you have a 20mph wind. Then come back. HAHAHAHA


Hell...as is I haven't changed my temp SU just because it hasn't gotten warmer than 20* or is raining. Call me a wuss if you want, but it's not fun until the thermometer is at least 40*

Office boy? Where'd that come from? When has it ever been -12 in TX? I didn't know it got that cold there.

 

[klatt_89]

I'm no office boy either Tex, i just have poor circulation to hands and feet do to bad blood pressure.

I dont have a garage to do my stuff in either I just break out the bibs and away we go to the driveway.

 

[klatt_89]

Most of where my projects take place......or in the dorm room Bill has a garage that needs cleaning before a vehicle goes in it

 

[klatt_89]

Man, i wondered why i had low compression.......didn't know someone renovated the living area while they were at it.

Well, guess they had to cut corners somewhere installing the peephole....

Well, this was supposed to be the oppistie side peephole...

Man, they almost made it house shaped......if only they had carved some more....

Guess we know why now, their conrod peephole creating tool got broke off in the hole.....

Can anyone say shrapnal.....?

Oh....look, they left behind the sleeve cut out.

They tried a new rod design. They figured why not, we want a little muave one and not a straight one....

Man, that piston just didn't like it's new renovated sleeve all that much...and look, the rod put up a twisted fight!

Piston had a earthquake....kinda has a fault line now....

Eeeek, it destroyed the under surface more than the top.....damn earthquake...

Well, 2/3rds of the rod is here, a little bit of it's left in the block, and the rest will never ever be found.

 

[TexasNomad]

That's awesome

 

[klatt_89]

Definitely is. There was tons more tiny shrapnal but it got trashed. Oil pan was gonna get cleaned out but i got tired of washing parts.

 

[TexasNomad]

My god what did they do it to?

 

[LEB Ben]

I'm not sure which is better...the carnage or the commentary...HAHAHAHAHA

 

[klatt_89]

My god what did they do it to?

Well, i'm guessing they let you drive it.

I'm not sure which is better...the carnage or the commentary...HAHAHAHAHA

I love adding commentary to those pictures.
