Hiya guys, a friend of mine has asked me to find as many pics of engine damage possible to build a slide show for his automotive students.
Any pics and descriptions of what happened would be great guys
A quick browse through the project section for anything with "dt" or "dturbo" or "xud" in the title should do the trick nicely, you'll struggle to get even half of them in.
This is worsed case like BT leg out of bed lol if u need any more photos give me a shout I have a few more :-)
Both please Tom engine internal and aux damage, I do really need to search myself but I'm on my crqppy ifail on badly enough signal to read posts at the mo let alone see the pics
Big end bearing failure due to lack of oil pressure which was caused by the adjacent main bearing not being torqued up correctly

Ford Escort with a 1.6 CVH engine, gearbox was filled with a dark green fluid which didnt seem like normal gearbox oil, so it probably wasnt
Sign of a bad gearbox (only use genuine PSA oil ffs!) -
Turbo exhaust oil seal blown - couldn't confirm cause
Failed clutch release bearing -
Damaged clutch and DMF - overheated (slippy clutch and too much power lol)
Snapped cat - Peugeot quality
Snapped spring (see...tapered springs are dangerous!)
Thermostat stuck open - GM quality
Burnt connection - loose fit leading to arcing
Fuel pump leak - damaged seal caused by running veg oil
Burnt fuel pump pin - caused by Peugeot electrics
Gearbox scored by stray rivet stuck from clutch cover (I think)
Got a bit carried away looking at broken things on photobucket...
I know they're not all engine related, but hopefully some are of use.
Wasn't/isn't there a comedy thread in the couch somewhere that just turned into a "this is my picture of something really, really broken"?
