Woot! Engine carnage!

[GrimJack]

Well, after blowing out a head gasket from running 20psi on a 57trim, I finally tore down the block and took some photos of the carnage.

One BHG, one missing #2 ringland, one fried #2 piston, and one roasted #5 rod bearing = cool carnage pics!

PS: 56K will have time to order broadband, wait for it to be available, get it installed, and THEN they can view my pics.

SavageBoosterJack! Looks like you have a nice conversation piece/ashtray/paper weight/meat tenderizer for the cheaper cuts your teeth will be subject too due to the cost of this rebuild..Don't worry as I'm doing macaroni right now..lol..

 

[GrimJack]

Oh - I forgot to mention that I found the missing ring landing. It was kind of glued to the side of the crank, and feels like a rough beach sand with sharper edges.

Dave is that block and bottom end still salvagable?

 

[MA717MGTE]

time to go forged :biglaugh:

 

[JerzeySlowpra]

all of that happened from a bhg?, how many miles were on that motor? salvagable?

 

[VanSupra]

You must remember this is GrimJack you're talking about. It's BHG+++..lol..Nothing halfway about this feller..

 

[rakkasan]

Did you go a little lean? :biglaugh: I guess fuel mods would help a little :biglaugh:

 

[GrimJack]

I think #2 went a little lean, I have to get the injectors checked to see if one of them isn't firing quite as much.

I think the bottom end is still salvageable... it's not in bad shape, considering the look of the piston!

 

[abustiffy]

tis a scratch.

 

[becauseican]

good job Dave!!!, who was it that warned against boosting 20 psi untunned with stock injectors ??....................................LOL, time for a 1J swap.

 

[turboa7mgte]

LOL... nice work

If you go 1j I will so come up to the great white north and beat you silly :crazy1:

 

[flubyux2]

ill be the first to say it "that shit'll buff out"

time for some CP pistons, pauter rods and cryo-treatment dont forget micropolishing the crank, resizing the rod ends and ARP hardware. also, id look to Swaintech for some ceramic coating for the crowns.

i still have you beat you should see the #5 piston that came out of kellys/psifactors orignal 7M. it was melted all to hell. there was aluminum on the cylinder wall and the cylinder head.

nice kill regardless!!!
