Well i blew my rod out of my car the other day while going to Taco Bell. I noticed my car was a little bit louder earlier that day and on the way i decied to rev my engine going 45mph, so i pused in the clutch and rev to 4500 for a quick second and it was its last. The engine banged and it sounded like shrapnal flying under my car, there was a cloud of grey smoke where it happend and my car was dead. I pulled over when i could (lucky thing i was going down hill, idident have to push it out of the road) and popped my hood there was oil everywhere in the bay. Later i took my buddies car down that same road to see if i can see anything on the road (parts of my block, any kind of metal at all, or oil). There was nothing there. I have about a shoftball hole in the frount of the block and a golf ball hole in the back of the block. I noticed now that it has been parked at my house that im leaking oil, witch i know where that coming from but im also leaking anti-freeze.
Anyone know why i would have blow a rod so earily in my engines life?
Where the radiator fluid coming from?
The only parts i have on my car are:
---RMR Cold Air Intake
---RMR Header
---Greddy's Cat-back exhaust from RMR
---RMR Bored Throttle Body
---Test Pipe(In place of Cat)
Another thing is i dont have the stock parts anymore!!!

I have somone looking for a new engine for me and he has been looking at the junk yards and there going for like $1000 a pop for a used one. I gave him my type of engine it is 4G94 and he was saying that its simular to an eclipes. He told me to night that he might get a eclipes block and get a piston repair kit, or somthing like that. An a hot 4G94 to put in. He siad he has to read into the compairing of the eclipes to my engine. I think he was talking about a 96 or 97 eclipes block. I dont know? Any ideas out there.... Somthing cheap and not alot of $$ todo.

Another idea one of my buddies gave me from his dad that worked at Mazda for some time. Told me to try just to buy the stock air intake system from the dealer and put it back on and take it to the dealership, maybe they wouldent notice the header and the rest of exhaust.

 

well good thing i can see whats in those pictures.

not to mention RMR doesn't sell half the stuff you listed.

try RRM. make the pictures smaller, then we can talk.

 

the mod or shrapnel probably shot out and slammed the radiator breaking on of the bars that carries the fluid because your radiator is right in front of the block.

also i have no idea how you blew a rod unless you didnt have any oil or something...

 

I am like 99% sure you blew it because of your oil leak, btw where did you say it was leaking?

 

the dealership will notice a header and test pipe, no doubt.

no oil would be a problem.

 

Dude a little bondo and your back on the road in no time... just playing. That really sucks man. Those pics by the way are huge. I think I can make out the atoms of iron with that magnification.

resized pics

 

could the person taking these pictures zoom out a little to get a better idea of where this is at, it looks like its just to the left of the header, but im not good at IDing stuff when its 4 cm away from my face.

 

for some reason, i dont think that your story is complete, A LOT of people have the same mods, and abuse thier cars on a daily basis, and still havent accomplised anything like that...

 

at least you didn't blow a rod going 69








*ahem* i'm terribly sorry for your loss

 

alright yes i was a little drunk doing this post it is RRM nor RMR lol dident realize that and ill resize pics

 

I resized them for you...

 

damn man, sorry to hear about that

 

yeah that really sucks man, i know the feeling. like rigo said tho, i think there is more to teh story. anythign else you didnt tell us?

 

there is no way that just happened...oil leak...had you checked the level or had the dummy light come on....there has to be something you haven't told us. Blowing a rod is not normal for the few mods you have. BTW, the dealer will notice.
