ok,that would be my piston!!
ah well,least i wasted the scooby!!



thts my piston!!!




thts the view from the side of my block!!!
i dont think she will make it to ford fair

new engine needed,not even chemical metal will stick tht back together

 

bugger sorry to hear that fella

 

ouch

 

Lovely

 

not nice for you chap! wish you all the best on rebuild.more power?

 

Makes my engine problem seem so small.

Bad luck mate

Steve.

 

yeah,might aswell do it proper as it was running T35,stage 3,pace cooler ect ect on a std engine!
lasted 2 days

 

How much boost was you running ?

And what sort of speed did it let go at ?

Steve.

 

whats wrong with that?other than blowing the fuck outta engine?bigger n better to come then!

 

Asking for trouble really but shame to see it happen

Good luck with the rebuild

 

gutted its gonna miss ford fair,but yeah,do the ARP and good bits on a new one,once found!

 

sometimes things happen for the best,even when you think they are shit.
silver lining and all that!

 

oh yes,but my god it was running so sweet,and went like fook,real shame!

 

Yeh, but i bet the scooby is still out there driving.................

 

staffi

he maybe but im hearing alot of reports of em blowing up now.getting old and unrelaible like the cossies did!

 

Would still have a cossie though fella

 

If the rods gone flying thru the block its most likely to be a oil problem, as the crank wouldve picked up the rod and flung it sideways thru the block.

Wouldve happened regardless of the power TBH, not like you was pushing the limits of the engine at that spec.

 

staffi
too right! i dont care what happens,they have character.

 

thts the idea i was having,sadly i had yet to hook up my oil pressure gauge

as said the scooby may still be going,but he did get blown away by a old taxi
and i will be back bigger and better,scoobys are just another car on the roads,
cossies are heritage,and race bred beasts!
cheers for the support guys,on the hunt still,not much about mind

 

orion_crazy_carl
you will find something soon mate,dont dispair.
the oil pressure guage prob wouldnt have helped by then,it only takes a bit when you are gunning it and its all over.you prob wouldnt have caught it in time at that speed.

 

but far as i knew the pressure could of been low from the start off,so i may of been able to stop it
aw well,to late for what ifs,now its time for"wheres my cheque book!"

 

you broken that thing already??

let me know if you need anything as i'm only down the road

 

bugger, but aint that allways the way of engines, they sound and run there best just before they let go

 

ouch

sorry to see that bro

but onwards and upwards

 

sorry to see this dude

i have a very good 4x4 cossie engine for sale rebuilt 4k miles ago

 

Carl - What did i tell you a couple of Thursdays ago!

Don't kill it...........
