So, long story short..my motor is toast


Big thanks to Rob, who came by and help me pull apart the motor a bit to diagnose the problem.....and it was a sad scene


#4 cylinder is completely damaged, including the piston, rods etc...problem was due to oil starvation and over heating of the cylinder.



one of the first thing we saw.....



hmm, what's this sticking out the oil pan????? ohhhh...just a piece of connecting rod!!





pulled the oil pan and........more carnage..







looking up the cylinder......even MORE carnage...






now looking for a long block

Please keep an eye out if you guys come across a long block for sale..thanks.

Damn Mo, that sucks.

rob.ok

Really sorry Marco. I'll help you out as much as possible to get you back on the road.. All we need is parts.

I'm not 100% sure what happened just yet...

We need to pull the bearing caps off of the other rods and check to see if starvation was the original problem. If the bearings are ok then the connecting rod simply broke and everything else is a result of it. The way the #4 bearing looked though makes me think something funny took place before the rod broke.
