Engine Fatality! Yep... Thats mine...!
 

Take a look at the following pictures and lets cry all together... The incident happened on Monday 12/6/06 at 02:00 while accelerating on 1st gear and the shift could not go into 2nd. So, I just put on neutral and the engine stopped running. Pressed the "Start Engine" button but the engine could not turn... My first guess was: something to do with the flywheel/clutch combo, but it wasnt so simple like that... :cry:

I will post 12 photos and they will tell you a million words... :brokehrt:

Here is the first with my engine sitting on the bench with the cylinder head out... Tuesday the 13th!

I can feel the 2.2lt 320hp engine coming on the way... :heart:

:brokehrt: :cry: :cry:

wow marios...I don't even know what to say about your motor :( ................but it sounds like you know how to make it all seem better :thumbup: :D 2.2L 320hp !

:eek:

Good luck bud...!


Siepel

ouch how many miles did u have on the engine?

Are you running stock engine internal parts?

your pictures remind me of the "Before" pictures you see on posters at the dentist

I had about 75000kms = 40500miles...

Am now looking at my options... One of those is the J's Racing 2.2lt 320hp engine. :thumbup:

How and why did this happen? Overrev perhaps?

:( i saw your engine before you, it's too sad to see stuff like that but that's life! I felt like it was mine... :cry:

good luck marios!
