Aloha, I threw a rod a couple weeks ago. I pulled the engine and you can see right through to da other side. no mind bra. anyway, I going be selling parts of this engine. I going keep the alt, the air compressor and starter, even though it connects to the trans, but somebody might be asking about um. all other parts are up for grabs. I thinking about porting out the stock heads then sell them, or just sale them the way they are. The engine had 75000 on it.

I sucked up some water, hyro locked or almost, but I think it weakened the rod and thats why it gave out a few weeks later.

Let me know what you might be interested in ok?


Mahalo.

how much for the valve cover shipped to 91706

 

[Greg S]

How much for the heads and timing chain cover shipped to 91355? Don't need the internals just the heads.

Let me make sure i know what you are looking for. when you say valve cover, do you mean the plastic cover? or the actual cover the covers the over head cams?

 

[Chris-Garage]

actual cover that covers the valves and cams

for shipping, your looking at about 43.00 with UPS

that's without the timing chain cover. I'll make a deal that hopefully will make it easier. I'll PM you..

yes I have a broken cylinder, whats your idea? im curious?

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

By the way, heres what I found when we took out the engine. A hole clear through the block. You can see through to the other side.

 

[Greg S]

Ha, I did that to the 260 V8 in my 81 Olds Cutlass years ago. Still did 55 on 7 cylinders though.

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Head and valve cover sold once i remove it off the engine.

 

[TartanJack]

I meant piston . . .

 

[markio]

what kind of driving do you do that tears a hole thru the engine like that???

He said that he sucked up some water. CAI's that are near the ground (like the original TRD) can suck water into the engine if you drive through enough water. Since water doesn't compress, when the piston comes up on a cylinder full of water things break (hydrolock). AEM makes a bypass valve to go inline on a cai in case the end is submerged. They have a video of a car where they stick the end of the cai in a bucket of water to show that the bypass works and it doesn't suck water.

I figured there had to be an answer like this, thanks very cool to know

is this kind of damage pretty rare? even for people with cais

It was a big topic of discussion here a few years ago shortly after I joined the forum. I believe one member (don't remember his name, but he had an RS 6 like me) had it happen to him.

You have to have a cai that opens low to the ground and you have to drive through deep enough water for it to be submerged (or nearly so I would think). I doubt that combination happens all that often. When it does though I would expect it to hydrolock every time. I am curious whether that would be covered under comprehensive insurance (like when mice chewed up my wiring harness).
