Lol the rods will have just smashed the oil pump to pieces, ive never seen an oil pump survive a conrod failure yet, its the first thing in the raging rods way!

[Danny2009]

That's what I thought rod had been chucked and smashed the oil pump on its swift exit! Ill find out when I get the sump off tomorrow pictures to follow

[James]

bad luck matey. got plenty more spare engines?

[samass]

dayum, that made a mess!

[Rippthrough]

mmm, oiled brake discs, just the ticket for reducing brake wear.

[RePT]

Oh no. Looks terrible! Id probably die if that happened to my car :o

Hope your coping

[Pugmarshall]

Only a weekends work! Can't wait to see the rebuild

[Danny2009]

Just an excuse to put my gti6 rear axle and front brakes on while its off the road Phillip may as well put my new clutch and bottom arms on aswell and my coilovers

Ill get damage pictures up tomorrow and a few of the progress if I think on!

Need a back up engine if anyone got one going cheap? For when the new one goes pop

S16

[Danny2009]

Be soon mate! Deffo having some

[CJ_Derv]

Devo'd for ya pal ive had this a few times too.. and first time was on a totally stock engine!! no mods whatsoever, ive seen this happen many times on a lucas when the diaphram pops and throws fuel through intake and rev the nuts of

Just out of curiosity what grade oil were you using? and im guessing your running a stock oil pump spring?

[Danny2009]

No idea what oil was in it, the engine was totally standard internally

[Rippthrough]

Probably the same stuff he sticks in the tank

's probably not a good idea to be running cheap shit oil when the bearings are seeing twice the loading

Sure rods arnt supposed to be that twisted and half missing!

More pictures tomorrow when I get it out and the sump off well what's left of it

And a picture of the nice hole in the back of the block

[CJ_Derv]

Nasty that sure did shat itself, i tend to use fully syntheitc 5w40 and good brand mainly from opie oils, just wondering what oil people are using when this happens and to see whether it could be related in a small way

What engine code was this again? Ive got a mate who done same onna d8a so guess they all can go,

[Alee83]

That is a BIG feckin hole!!

[karl1989]
