Haha awesome, my old engine. That took quite a beating. First time on track aswell and it shat itself big time. Engine went, turbo shit itself, manifold cracked, decat cracked and exhaust snapped.

Worked out to be quite an expensive trackday.

LOL

You done a cracking job Jamie ill give you that :)

That's a pretty solid failure right there! Oil starvation is definitely going to kill one quickly under track conditions. I'm quite impressed with that bearing, solid effort :p

Bit of a mess! 4 Bent Rods, 1 Smashed Piston and a nice hole in the bore!

My car seems to be very jerky sometimes when accelerating slowly, anyone had this? anyone know the problem? Josh

This thread scares me!

I lost compression on my stock boosted EP82 4EFTE last week on Cylinder #3, i'm very close to pulling the head, and just PRAYING that the stock manifold melted a hole in the top of the piston, and didn't scratch the bores.
 
Make you cry ehhh;) Just remembered I never posted in this 4 bent rods head gasket and ringlands dead in an 11km straight run speed at :slap: it sill ran after it very very messy though but still drove which I thought was unreal lol.

prob ringland failed.. possibly cylinder 3 (the most common one lol)

would there not need to be a hole in the block because oil sprayed everywer

is the engine still running? yes right? normaly a hole in the block means that a rod cam off and came out of the block.. in your case (probably as i cant be sure) a ringland cracked and pressure going into the sump etc spit out oil out of the breather... check if the oils cam from the breather?

Discovered number 1 cylinder only had 30psi compression, so stripped it down to find this:

Funny thing is, car had been running fine, but was defo blowing oil. Whole thing was being held together in the bore, fell apart once out. Std apart from FMIC and no boost solenoid.

you might want to check your bearings also as the filings could of done some damage mybe?

already did, also piece of valve would have came out thru exhaust(hopefully). cyl no 1 had only 100psi in it compared to the rest 160-162 so i thought head gasket, took the head off had a look at it valves looked o.k. as i didnt open them to check the seat, pulled out the piston looked perfect too sent the head for skim, new headgasket etc. and still the same, stripped it out again then, to have a better look just to find this. i would not mind, but car was running perfect with damaged cam and valve, i tearing around the place givin the go's to k20 civic's and 200sx :haha:
just found few more pics of the engine i done for my friend, will post them in a few mins
