Armand Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Well, my engine decided to go today, and my mates dad reckons its a snapped rod. So the engines being taken out tomorrow and the cars getting declared off the road. Its a good opportunity to get the engine forged now..tho i need some help on what rods and pistons to get..I will hopefully be going TD04 after it gets forged.Any help from you guys would be appreciated Thanks Armand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Armand Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Not too sure atm when we have the engine out the mechanics having a look at it.Like i said my friends dad was just assuming its a snapped rod from the noise is making. PS It happened after playing with the stupid Bee *R rev limiter (yeh i was stupid to use it)Armand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukEp Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 take spark plugs out and turn engine over look in to the hole with a led torch if one or more of the pistons dont move up and down when turning it over you have snapped a rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Danturbo4311 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 dont forget starlets are quite an old car now really & people are putting bits on them to increase the power, so an engine which is at least 11 years old running more power than it did when it was new is gonna go wrong from time to time, especially if you put something like a bee r on it lol, did you raise the rev limit to much with the bee r & thats why he suspects u damaged a rod, u could give your sump a tap & can sometimes can hear parts of the rod rattling around if its properly snapped lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
