Default Brunters Killed my 3 Door, D***POP is Dead! **Now with Photos Page 2**

Just taken the head off Piston 1 has melted ,head gasket blown apart, slightly marked the head (should be saveable), turbo has gone quite stiff no play in shaft or visable damage to blades, oil everywhere!
I'll get some photos of the damage up later.
I could cry!
Other than that is was a really good day out.
Cheers to The Fast Ford Guys and the photographers and all the nice people I meet yesterday.
Rich

Ouch!

Jamie was adamant it was a piston, we were hoping it was just a gasket. But it was pretty bad. Shame mate

Nice to meet you pal, glad you came along....like i said, it will be stronger for it now. Get the head done as well and you will be ripping!

Nah mate, doing it now actually

Wounder but with the last minute rebuild and a turbo bigger than my cock.....which, is frankly, massive! It was gonna end in tears

Bigger, better, stronger, faster!

Other than the obvious wounder, thanks again for coming and hope you and your pal had fun. We we makin him chuckle with some of our random bollocks at the end of the day.

Thanks again Rich

bad times, when my mate blew up my saff, the head was scrap, the block was scrap and bits of valves went straight through the turbo, so i know how it feels.

luckily he paid for the rebuild, found a virgin 4x4 head and std bore 200 block along with all ancillaries (turbo, inlet, alternator etc) for Ł750. and he bought it all, i built it back up

Car was mapped at by Martoon in January, no idea whats happen yet getting a engine hoist in the morning so I can take the bottom end out and strip it down and have a look Piston 1 is pretty fucked and it's taken a small chunk out of the bore.
I'm not going start blaming anyone, might just be one of those things, will have a better idea what went on tomorrow.

Arse! Not good fella. When you rushed for your fire extinguisher I knew you wouldn't be leaving Brunters under your own steam!

Hope it's not too fucked!

When I saw smoke coming out from under the bonnet I though I was in really trouble it had blown the dip stick clean out of it's tube and on closer inspection today has made a small dent on the underside of the bonnet

Sorry to hear that Rich

I have to say I was quite surprised to hear that you had ran it at Brunters given that we knew the engine had some sort of issue on Saturday, having said that.... The long straight at Brunters does bring out the devil in you!

As mentioned the car was mapped on my rollers eairlier in the year, it keeps records of all AFR plots and had plently of fuel, the ignition map is no where near on the edge either and was very clean on the det cans.

Onwards and upwards Rich, if you need any help just shout.
