Does anyone have any of the following items they could post to me if I pay for the carriage?

Melted piston
Det marked piston
Bent conrod
Dramatically blown head gasket
Melted exchaust valve


Basically anything related to dead engines from a bad tune up really!

 

let you know on the weekend when i take my engine apart!

 

Lol

Well fingers crossed you dont have any of that lot mate!

 

i'll have a look down the workshop i use on monday for you; i did have a melted cossie piston but it may have gone in the bin

are you in a particular hurry for them?

Matt

 

Within the next week or two would be a bonus, I just need some to take pics to go with an article im writing at the moment.

 

when you're done with them can you send a load in a big box to me if i pay carriage?

I want them to put up on the wall, they look cool and will compliment the other motoring artifacts lol. CheeRS.

 

My mate has a damaged standard Pulsar GTiR piston, ringland melted while being rolling roaded, think he wants to keep it as a souvenir though, but if you let me know i could get any photos of it that you wish.

 

Red16, that would be great.

Aston B, im sure on this forum there are enough fucked bits to build a whole new house from

 

Any car in particular? Does it have to be from a car? I have a Fireblade engine that has threw a rod through the block. God knows what else is damaged inside but Ill let you know when I open it up if thats any good to you?

 

Its specifically det or heat damaged parts that im after really mate, so a rodded block not much use for this.
Any make is ok, its just to show what the damage looks like.
Thanks for the offer though mate

 

ive got a bent rod from a cvh if its any good mate? it was out of a turbo technics cvh that got a bit hot lol

 

chip, ive got a few bits of my piston that exploded in my cossie?got a det damaged psiton,but it isnt all the way thru

 

a good idea for a gallery.' dead engine parts'

 

i think i've got a melted piston somewhere that you have have for it's artistic side

i'd want it back though eventually but can pop it over to you tomorrow if you let me know where you want it sent

 

and yes, this thing has even melted the bloody piston rings

 

Even better!! I've quite a bit of wall space in my workshop. So far only got a Florida license plate up, one of those wheel clocks, few posters and waiting to go up is an aluminium bumper guard from subaru estate.

If anyone has any engine/gearbox bits that are fucked and chip doesn't need em first, contact me, i'll have em in a box and put em to good(ish) use

 

Ok chip no worries, Im led to believe it was very low on oil and it blew up during a big burnout in a show, hitting the limiter at standstill for a few minutes with no oil in has got to cause some heat . Ill take it apart and see whats fooked and if I think anything is of use to you Ill send a couple pics too see if you can use it.

 

If people have got some pics already, that would be good as it would save hassle posting it to me, high res though as its for print.
Even a phone snap would be good though just for me to see if its what im looking for or not.

 

Are duratec parts any use ? my mums mondeo had the infamous inlet manifold problem - that took out all 4 pistons a chunk off the head naffed a couple of valves..

let me know and i'll see if i can find them

 

Im only interested in parts killed by heat or det, not mechanical failures mate.

 

chip ive got some cossie pistons that you can have?

ill be at totb on sunday if you want me to bring them with me?

 

That would be great if they have either det or heat damage mate

 

water about water damage i got a very bent con rod from a engine which sucked in some water?

 

again, if chip doesn't want, i do

 

A friend has a melted Punto piston from lean running, melted the ringlands etc.. Can bring it to TOTB (if he still has it and if it doesn't rain).

 

No mate, its just for an article on tuning, and although you can cause heat and det issues with a bad tune, you cant cause water damage, lol

 

Unless you have dodgy set up water injection??

 

This pic any good to you Chip?

 

dead enough for you?

the reslut of running 12 psi and fuel and then the fuel stopping

don't think i've got any more pics but you can certainly have a loan of the piston while you need it

 

Thats exactly what im looking for in terms of heat damage Dojj, nice one

Can you bring them to the berks meet next week please? and I'll let you have it back next month.

 

can i ask what would cause a con rod to bend regards heat and or det?

 

i have one with a bid fook off hole init, as 2 exhaust valves melted of and mashed the piston a treat

 

i'll bring it along mate which means i'll deffo be along

 

Happy to help

 

i have a craked block and a majorly gone head gasket if that any good to you from my car that blew at the beds track day
