is it just me or does that make anyone else cringe?

IIIXziuR · 03-26-2008, 08:35 PM

wow thats insane dude.
Props!

greddyguy · 03-26-2008, 08:36 PM

WangonwWarrior · 03-26-2008, 09:14 PM

nismo racer · 03-26-2008, 09:18 PM

alkemyst · 03-26-2008, 09:24 PM

My friend did this back in 1990 or so with his 1989 hatch. sucks.

cxlo8331 · 03-26-2008, 09:24 PM

*downshift_sideways* · 03-27-2008, 01:23 AM

I threw a connecting rod in my SR. I got it hung on my wall.

sblack13 · 03-27-2008, 01:32 AM

i've seen some kid blow the biggest hole i've ever seen. Like no way any of the bolts for the a/c compressor could still bolt in.

my old s14 sr
(don't let your friends drive your cars haha!!)

anyone get holes on both sides?

sblack13 · 03-27-2008, 01:38 AM

oh did'nt realize that haha.
thats pretty big.

slidingsky · 03-27-2008, 01:43 AM

Well props to everyone that has went through my pain. I really wasn't mad at the motor, mainly I was pissed about having to swap a motor.

My friend and I were talking and it seems that it's almost always the #3 piston and its parts that let go. Kind of weird.

racepar1 · 03-27-2008, 01:59 AM

Every engine has that one cylinder that always seems to go. I think on out atlantic motors it was #3 too.

Tearlessj · 03-27-2008, 02:00 AM

Yea number 3 is the most common to go, Funny cause when I bought my hatch, it was knocking BAD, instead of towing it to my back yard, i drove it......and did some doughnuts. lol I didn't realize it was blown until I was walking back to the house and stepped on a rod. lol

an_orange_s2k · 03-27-2008, 01:25 PM

damn thats crazy...im just waitin for my KA to do that then its time for a SR

verge513 · 04-17-2008, 02:25 PM

man i dread that as well but mine only has 1,500 miles on it lol....hey man i got a short block if u need it ..might want new rings but hey all the rods are connected and no gaping holes in the block...150 and u can have it or 230 with new rings and bearings

My Ka's funeral consisted of me dropping the block and crank in the trash can. I lol'd while laying in bed hearing the truck struggle to get the trash can up, then...BAM! BAM! I hear the block and crank hit the bottom of the truck's trash container.

KA Power all the way...[IMG]

*PBucch* · 04-17-2008, 03:04 PM

Where is that oil return dumping? looks a lot easier than dropping the pan....

edit- fantastically clean btw.

blueshark123 · 04-17-2008, 03:23 PM

wow i wouldnt mind that ka over my sr

Hexx's 7 · 04-17-2008, 03:24 PM

Damn I'm speechless for all of you guys to have this happen to your engines but did you guys ever figure out what caused your rods to go and mess your engine up so bad.....

rocksteady_racer · 04-17-2008, 03:37 PM

I was driving in North Carolina and I hit the rev limiter by accident downshifting from fourth to third and the car was fine for like 50 miles. No oil light or anything. Then all of a sudden the block start making noises and the piston flew out the side by my window. Then the rod was sitting on top of the passenger side control arm stuck. It was crazy.
