How to tell if you have a blown motor!

[RangerRock]

wow that is some a damaged motor BIG TIME!!!!!!!!


Seeing pictures like that makes me think twice before hitting ramps at WOT and such...

 

[RcWheeling]

it wasnt the ramps fault it was a old worn out 21 that bogged during a backflip

if i wasnt going to jump the hell out of my trucks i might as well own a maxx but i run hard so i own 3 savages

I'm still a litlle fuzzy on the whole blown motor thing... Does this(see attached pics) mean my motor is blown? I think the connecting rod may have let go, but I may be wrong... :duh:

I don't even want to know what you did to that poor thing......

 

[RangerRock]

Wow bud.......mind telling us what the heck you did?

I don't even want to know what you did to that poor thing......

It deserves a fitting memorial... It started life almost a year and a half (and several gallons) ago in a 3.3 Jato and it wasn't babied in any way.....

looks like it was too lean and possibly the wrong plug type.

 

[RcWheeling]

ouch there was something going wrong there thats for sure

Nice man, Nice. I've seen something very similar in a banshee. Too lean, melted the piston then drove the conrod through it on on the compression stroke. One bad thing about testing timing advances lol
