99gstracer- You were joking about thinking it was a headgasket rite?

CPhunter- Pleas tell me your were joking too.

Surprisingly, I think that's the first time I've ever seen both sides of the block blown out.

My block (above) has both sides blown out. You can see clean through it. I just didn't post the other side. Everything near the starter is gone.

Nope. What makes you think I was joking?

Snapped rod, punched holes in the front and rear of the block and 2 holes in the oil pan, autopsy has yet to be concluded but I pulled the upper half of a rod with the wrist pin still attached out of the bigger oil pan hole. As you can see in the pic, the two center rods both broke, I will take more pics this weekend if I get some time to pull it apart.

Odd I cant get the pic to show, its in my gallery.

Are you serious

Are you serious

Why do you always answer a question with a qustion?

I purchased my 91 Talon about 2 months ago, in a non-driving condition. It didn't drive, so I didn't even bother starting it. I paid $400 for it, so I didn't even bother giving it the "thousand point vehicle check". Within 3 minutes of looking at it (I did not climb underneath it), I noticed that the oil and coolant were mixed, and it was leaking in small amounts from an unknown location. The condition of the engine did not matter to me as I was mostly purchasing it for the chassis, tranny, and turbo. I got the car home, tried starting it, and it fired right up. It wouldnt hold an idle, and it only had slight audible noise.

So, in a nutshell: The previous owner was a 16 year old kid and he told me he thought it had a popped head gasket. I found coolant in the oil and took his word for it.

Let me know if this logic baffles you and/or if you have any other retorical questions to ask.

It still had oil in it?

 

[99gst_racer]

Yes. There was some oily coolant in the pan, but not enough to reach the dipstick.

This was about 6 months ago. Being stupid after my Small 16G install. 5th gear S-AFC tuning going uphill! WTF Burned up the valve. Simple fix and I got some ARPs and a fresh new headgasket in there, but could have been a lot worse!

 

[pitbull419]

Where did the other piece of that valve call home?

I bought the car like this. Other than needing a new motor and one or two small cosmetic issues it's a great car.

this thread makes me want to sell my car....

 

[tstkl]

this thread makes me want to sell my car....

because the owners drive them to death or because the motors can't take overheating/miss shifts?

I think you'll find, give me any car, ANY motor, and 30 minutes, I'll blow it, TRUST ME, I'LL BLOW IT
