So much for that motor.....

[NjsGT]

Went to the track today with 94tbird and lost my motor..... Melted 3 pistons on the drivers side.... Sucks to be in these shoes but what can you do? It is what it is..... Main thing is I just have to decide where to go from here.... I know Im annolyed right now and i may change my mind after I cool down but I am leaning towards a part out followed by going back to stock, really not sure if i can deal with all the bullshit again.... I just dont understand what went wrong with the a/f ratio's..... Well heres some carnage pics... Enjoy....

After my car looked like a fucking airplane crash, I decided to pop the hood to have a looky....... Awesome.....

Im assuming aprox 2 qt's of oil came up and blew the fucking valve cover gasket out....

BBQ'd plugs...

I also have a go-pro vid to show you guys......
So tomarrow after work, the tear down will continue.... Just have to drop the trans, and remove the PS pump, AC, and motor mounts....

I hear that....

 

[BruceH]

I'm sorry that happened. The csi should be interesting. Don't make any rash decisions.

 

[NjsGT]

Any kind of warranty or know if he will stand behind it?

Highly doubt it..... They will find some way to point the finger back at me...

 

[rford426]

It was 93 pump gas? A/F just leaned out?

 

[NjsGT]

Thanx Bruce. Gonna do my best with the decisions.... I know I have to let my mind cool down for afew days...

I hope you get her back on the road soon!

 

[NjsGT]

Yea, 93. Must have leaned out...... I basically made a fucking welding lance.... Im sure the pistons have holes clean through them... Only one way to find out..

Damn man, that sucks big old basketball balls. Sweaty ones at that.

I hope you get her back on the road soon!

Gonna do my best..... Like I said, I have a bunch of ways Im thinking about doing.....

Gotta clear my head first...

 

[skwerl]

[OU81]

Damn, that's three motors this week. That sucks big hairy moose lips, dude.

Thats exactly what I was about to post. Kind of glad I dont have deep pockets to blow up I mean build my motor w/ a supercharger. lol Wish I did in a way but I'm sure my motor & my wife thanks me. lol

 

[bw281]

Damn, sorry to hear. Take your time and I wish you the best on the rebuild.

 

[stkjock]

Sorry Mike. I know how you feel. Ron had texted me earlier and told me the troubles.

FWIW- if you do decide to rebuild it, check out Micheal at L&M.

 

[Steedman07]

What in the fuck..Are you fucking serious? And only 13 psi? WTF??? They built it and tuned it, not much to talk about there. I am sure they will make it right...Sorry man, that really sucks, I feel for you, big time..Hang in there, you will get back on the road, try not to get to frustrated, but I know I would be pissed off more than a raging bull with red ants attacking his huge penis...

 

[Kadorja]

Wasnt another one of the motors that blew this week a JDM tune? I know who not to get a tune from now....

And sorry that sucks. I always think 'what if' whenever I do something with my car or buy another part. I've seen people blow from simple mods with a bad tune. Its always a gamble I guess.

First thing is relax and take your mind off of things. Then upload that GoPro vid and have a good laugh. Then rebuild it and make it better. Im sure you got plenty of good parts to reuse or sell and get some cash back. Hopefully JDM will stand behind some of it and help out.
