Well, it's a bad day.



















Cracked piston, spun rod bearing, scored cylinder, and a piston hit the head. There is basically nothing salvageable below the valves.

Not sure what to do at this point...

wow man that sucks hard core. sorry this happened.

but.. i dont get it. your SURE this thing had oil pressure? to me it looks like it lived long enough for the assembly lube to get used up and that was all she wrote.


id say find a stock LD9 and put it in til you can get this thing fixed.

bore it out another .020, get some good forged pistons, eagles, get the crank checked and if repairable ground to .50mm or .75mm whatever it takes, new bearings. deck the head til its clean again and this time use the starter on the bench/engine stand and make sure you get oil pressure.

I'll find out more when I pull the other rod bearings and main bearings. I'm done for tonight though.

At this point it will probably be $5k to get me back to where I was because of all the damage... and the body is getting pretty rusty, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna wheel the car out of the garage and throw the engine in a pile. Time for a new chassis.

The more I think about it the more I think the wrist pin retainer fell out, and it all went from there.

I'm a LD9 fan, b ut considering, don't you have a Eco car sitting you could just swap everything from into the red car?

Yeah, if I was planning on keeping the red car for more than another year. It's not worth saving.

idk how i missed this. thought i read about it somewhere but i guess i missed the carnage thread here. sorry to see this for sure man, but its good to hear you may not be done with the platform or the good old iron block just yet.

just outta curiousity did you ever tear the block completely apart and check the other 3 cylinders?
