haha a friend of mine had his license for a week, and the car for three days.....











the only thing internally thats salvageable is the cams, only because they can be welded and reground. I'm almost positive the block is toast, considering there are 1/8" gouges everywhere.

 

what happened? did he drop all the valves?

 

looks like an entire piston has exploded

 

i am unclear on what happened, he claimed he was doing a 40mph pull in third getting on the highway and "it started smoking smelling like metal and screeched to a halt!!!" well he thought it was the clutch and took it to two different mechanics and they couldn't figure out what was wrong lol. so i started looking and saw the timing belt chillin there with no tension. so we pulled it and i knew it was toast when i see every rocker in the head broken. i am going to assume it was on a stock timing belt, the car has 100k on it and no one probably changed it.

 

actually piston #3 was in the pan there was no signs of disaster on the exterior of the block.

 

also every exhaust valve was broken off yes. most of the intake were gone as well. see the melt holes in the pistons lol

 

heavy grit sand paper can fix that. jeez

 

i was thinking that some jb weld and some duct tape and she's back on the road!

 

I see a 2.4L budget build in your future.

 

Damn that sucks!

 

He's prob like my one friend, "I went to go take off but it didn't go, so I gave it more gas and it didn't do nothing so I kept on holding it down then it started making clunking noises"

 

Go big or go home.

He took going big to a whole new level.

 

Makes my 6 spun bearings in the bottom end look like child's play.

A new everything fixes that. hope you've got local shops as good as we've got, my car was back on the road in two and a half weeks on a full rebuild.

 

I think we all have a few of thos lol. OP thats some crazy damage! I wouldn't even bother with the cams, or anything on that motor personally. I'd just buy an entire engine unless u really want to build it all yourself

 

Really .... it is asking for trouble to rebuild that. Trash wil be everywhre

Be sure that after replacing the block with a new one to completely flush out the oil cooler and turbo if they are still good, other wise there will eb a new thread, rebuild block lasted 500 miles what could have happened ?

ultimate fail
