Engine Blew!

[Irace86.2.0]

Pop, my engine went. I started laughing when it did because it was so obvious. There is oil on the ground and an obvious hole in the motor. I’ll probably be parting out what I can, and probably sell my supercharger if all looks well with it.

I was on it on the way to work. It was early, but I always drive aggressive. I hit a big bump during a pull, so I don’t know if that was part of it, but then it went.

I had new AMSOIL in it and 82k on the motor and maybe 25k on the supercharger with maybe 5k on the 75mm pulley. Pop! It is what it is. I might just sell the car for a loss and let someone else deal with it. We will see.

Damn, I'm sorry man. Best of luck.

Isn’t this stuff suppose to be inside the engine?

Ouch! I know you had a lot into that build. Sorry man. But at least I know now not to move up to the 75mm pulley.

You could always keep the twin and wait until there's a crate electric motor available.

Let go pretty hard to do that much damage. Did it make any noise before it went?

It would be so much better if there could be a happy ending to this story. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear it...your build was amazing

What a shame glad the failure didn't also incur a safety consequence

That is such a fear of mine. The way these engines let go makes me afraid of oil spray getting on the exhaust, there was one instance of this after a J02 recall failure that led to an engine bay fire.

It made a bang when I hit the bump and then grinding like a spun rod and then clank, clank, clank as shit went through the block. It was pretty epic. Surprisingly, I had this sheepish look on my face like, “hehe, I pushed it too hard.” I’ll rip it apart tomorrow and see what is going on.

There was steam from the coolant, but no loss of traction or anything crazy.

It is funny because I was probably a month or two away from converting it back to a CARB/stock condition for smog and then I was going to leave it that way for nursing school. Oh well, but I have plenty of cash. I will just need to figure out what I want to do. I might sell the supercharger or not. I might part stuff or not. I might sell it all as is or not. I might do a swap and have it NA or not. I’ll have to assess the damage and think about it.

More carnage.
