Let me know if u have as i had a hole blown through my sump unexpectidly a few weeks back, followed by oil and bits of my engine internals lol

 

I have or rather my ex-tuner did........put two holes in a mint cosworth 200 block, smashed the touring car spec head to pieces, fucked the steel rods, je forged pistons, and wrecked a very good baffled sump, basically lunching the entire engine. Only remaining usable part was the cam cover and sump plug lol!!

 

Shit, that's nasty Ian....

 

 

Here are a couple of pics of a failed Evo engine belonging to someone I know.

Balancer shaft decided to make a bid for freedom probably as the result of a broken conrod.

 

 

A fairly well specced Beetle engine I managed to blow, dropped a valve

 

Tell me about it...or rather my bank manger!! Who noticed a very large withdrawal from my account that I had to make to put it right after my very ex-tuner showed me his butt and asked me to get affectionate with it! That was in 2004, Im still on dry bread and jam now lol!

 

i've got a melted piston somewhere from when i fucked the V6
still drove it another 60 or 70 miles at full pelt on max boost and no huge amounts of det

and smoke

 

yup



also lunched the M3 engine too, but no pics

 

these pics are great keep them coming!

 

EA?

 

Hole front and back, and whatever came out wrecked the rad and starter motor, and went under an artic I'd just pulled in front of going uphill lol.

 

Yes, I have seen his butt! It's not pretty!

 

i thought mine looked bad u lot put me 2 shame lol

 

Yep i know how you feel

Had just payed for my curent build with ewerything to it(15k) and was on the dyno when the cambelt decided it dident wantet to play anymore
Coasted me a new head, valves, cam, turbo, piston a new bore and new bearings to the cranck that was another 4k

 

What was left of a rod and piston out of my old Pinto



Small block vauxhall engine gave up after seeing 9k for a few weeks

 

Unsurprisingly blew my old Rover GSi T engine to pieces, after sitting at silly speeds all the way from Stoke to the Derby turn off on the A50.

Never got any pics as i left for the Falklands a week later and got the car scrapped, mate took the head off and said it was a right fooking mess. Looking at the sump before i left i could tell it wasnt pretty with all the holes and dents in it.

 

Some guy off the Mini Forum...

 

escaping conrod from a zetec

 

Pathetic compaired to everyone elses.. but still put a hole in the block!!

DOH!!!

 

i wish i'd have got a picture of an engine at my old work... it had ripped a hole from the front, though the sump and out of the back of the block

 

One of my mates blew his 2 wheel drive cosworth engine in style a few years ago. He put a rod through either side of the block and split the sump It was only stage 1 but I think it was badly setup with too much boost because it went too well for a stage 1 and when it had a new engine it went slower as expected.

His missus said it was head gasket failure but it was a white sapph and the back of it was black

 

Standard CVH - did this overtaking a astra on a welsh road
