« on: 15 October 2009, 19:12:40 »
should i say two hole in the block ;D ;D

This is a few of the bits found on the tray plus part of a small end



This is the hole on the drivers side of the engine



and this hole was by the aircon pump



When i got the heads off i found the bottom end to be in abit of a mess, two snapped con rods and one of the pistons was in three large parts, I thinks you did a good job James :y ;D ;D ;D

So, what do we think was the cause of failure?

Near the redline? or way beyond it :o

When I first got my manual 2.5 V6 (and being used to a motorbike with a 10500rpm redline) there were a few occasions where it hit the (soft) limiter and I glanced down at the tachometer and saw the needle pointing somewhere between 3000 & 4000.

I think what happens is that the ECU cuts the sparks (or half of them) and gives a duff reading to the tacho.

I once had a spectacular big end failure on a 60's Royal Enfield. The results looked very similar to the photos but with aluminium crankcases and con rod. I never did work out what caused it (but I was flat out downhill at the time ::))
