[cooljess76]

Jean, let me know when you're ready for that diff.

[Jean H.318TI]

Yeah I will let u know but its not gonna be for a while tho, gotta get the car finish and running and then I can do the diff and hydraulic ebrake and stuff

[Jean H.318TI]

finally got the engine/ tranny out





empty engine bay


view of the bottom of the engine from the oil pan

[Jean H.318TI]

some more pieces



oil pan, notice the hole in that tray and the dent in the oil pick up tube



all the steel pieces that were on the bottom of the oil pan



the piston in million pieces in the oil pan





pretty crazy damage to the engine

[tiFreak]

wow, is there even anything left of the piston? usually the top piece comes out somewhat intact

[RAiMA]

That's a pretty amazing effort. Piston must of hit warp speed 7!!!

Good job on that motor. I've blown 10+ drag motors on my boat turning 10,00rpm and never had one look that bad. I can see where the rod got loose and smashed the oil pickup but dang how long did you drive it after it blew?

Not even a second, engine blew, shut off and pulled over right away, a second or 2 max

Thanks bro

[Jean H.318TI]

after pulling the tranny out i decided to take it apart and maybe rebuild it but idk yet.


all clean after a hot pressure wash




some of the bolts and stuff, found the magnet inside full of metal shavins


gears

[bbarnumboy]

I don't think the Getrag would be worth a rebuild.

I have to call BS. There is no way you were driving like "granny" when that happened. I bet it sounding like "a garbage disposal with silverware in it"
