bent rods?

[jamesro9124]

ok so i was driving around a right turn yesterday and rev match down shifted from 3rd to 2nd i was at about 3k in 3rd and rev match perfectly down to second. i go about 150 more feet and the car turns off. i pull over and try to start it i hear a winding sound the battery was fine and it was winding but it would not even kick or try to turn over. so i get home today to be yelled at by my dad for me apparently lieng that i did it on purpose and i bent the rods from going around the turn in too high rpms. now i did not talk back and run my mouth off but is that even possible. is it possible that me going around a turn bent my rods? also my dads claiming the car is totaled and that im going to have to pay to fix it. so how much would it cost for a new engine or new rods?

this made my day.

going around a corner at high rpm will do nothing to your rods. you have another issue.

[jamesro9124]

thank you for telling me that bc im getting ****in bull****ted that i did it i ****in hate this ****

[tiFreak]

did your dad actually take the engine apart? he'd have no way of diagnosing internal damage to an engine like that by just looking under the hood

[jamesro9124]

well i just went and asked what the cost was guna be and he was like its guna be like 1600 and i said well who told you that the bent rods were my fault and he was like the mechanic and i was like idk bout that but ok.
idk he is probably just pissed off that the quotes for 1600 and wants to blame it on me. hopefully i dont have to pay for it it but if i do ill have that soon

Sounds like some sort of ignition or electrical problem

I've been around many, many corners with unconstrained enthusiasm- but have never yet bent a connecting rod doing it. I don't think it's because of a lack of trying.

You can break valves going from 5th to 2nd in high rpm- but the sound that results will instantly let you know that you have done wrong. Still, that's a head issue and not a block issue.

I'm curious- has this car had a compression test?

[tiFreak]

sounds like the mechanic's trying to screw him over and you're catching the backlash from it

[Jean H.318TI]

yeah theres no way this is posible, i do this everyday even on high rpms with no issues, i think u should find a different mechanic

[pdxmotorhead]

You'd likely have to exceed 7500 RPM to bend or break a rod, not likely they are bent, rods usually break unless you suck water in and hydrolock the motor.

I would suspect a failed part like the crank position sensor, or a blown fuse.

First Step is a compression AND a leakdown test after the electrics check out.
Also a failed fuel pump will casue it to spin and not fire.

I second the thought that the mechanic is trying to rip you off assuming your giving us the WHOLE story

I would tell your dad you did some research and would like to look at a couple things before the mechanic opens the jar of vaseline....
