Turbo Goose Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Well, after my car decided to boost at 2.6 bar i knew there would be an issue but i thought it would just be the rings.Currently stripping the engine for a forged build and turns out 3 rods are bent and one piston has fallen to bits.Suprised it didnt spit a rod out the block!

_shaun_ Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Ha tremendous that's a wee trophy there I'd be sticking the proper bent one on the mantel! Quote

daniel_g Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Congrats haha.Ive done it aswell but didnt strip the engine because it was enraged at the time. Rod 3 i think was dangling out the sump Quote
dangeestarlet Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Mine had 2 bent rods , 1 snapped and about 5 holes in block haha Quote
Turbo Goose Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Now thats a good effort^Makes it look like i did half a job Quote
5e colin Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 thats good work boys makes us proud to be in the starlet scene Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Not a starlet but when two stroke pipe snapped on my jet ski the engine seized at 72mph and bent a rod and melted a piston Quote
