Well i was driving home yesterday in the pouring rain car shut off wouldn't crank................2 hours later motors out, heres the results would still run with a skip with sum oil pressure....amazing lol, More pics of the teardown later.

TravisSW · 12-30-2007, 07:50 AM

wtf!?

Nice. lol

Landers · 12-30-2007, 07:56 AM

ummmm holy crap?!!? time for a new motor there buddy.

super240sx7185 · 12-30-2007, 07:59 AM

Yea im gonna go around some junkyards tomorrow lol.

murda-c · 12-30-2007, 08:22 AM

jesus, were you just spinning tires in the rain and bouncing off the limiter or something?

scary to see an engine fail that catastrophically without warning, though i guess it could be like 16 years old and high mileage.

either way it's just a motor, and if you can have it out 2 hours after it dies you shouldn't have trouble getting a replacement in.

super240sx7185 · 12-30-2007, 08:27 AM

Nah i was in heavy traffic couldnt see hardly and it just died taking off. It had about 230,000 miles on it i swapped it in beginning of 06 only paid 350 for so no big loss lol.

eastcoastS14 · 12-30-2007, 08:45 AM

haha looks like my sr after i hit a telephone pole.....swap time!!

*fliprayzin240sx* · 12-30-2007, 08:50 AM

Damn, havent seen a whole lot of KAs do that...

240sx_LE · 12-30-2007, 09:14 AM

did that like two months ago, except mine only made one hole and the rod got stuck on my ac condenser.

status:one · 12-30-2007, 09:17 AM

gawd damn. thats crazy

*ManoNegra* · 12-30-2007, 09:22 AM

Hard to believe a KA can do that without warning.

nightshiftgarage · 12-30-2007, 09:26 AM

were you stock setup or boosted or mild modded na?any old age symptoms like chain slap or excessive blow by?

HyperTek · 12-30-2007, 09:35 AM

dude 230k miles.. bout time you replace the motor anyways..

*fliprayzin240sx* · 12-30-2007, 09:41 AM

Well you cant really tell when the oil pump just suddenly gives...remember, the stock oil light is just an on/off switch. It turns on, for the most part, your engine is toast.

Drifters4Life · 12-30-2007, 09:51 AM

WOW lol say good bye motor

punxva · 12-30-2007, 10:45 AM

BBSilvia · 12-30-2007, 11:09 AM

undesiredshoe · 12-30-2007, 11:38 AM

Maybe water got in your cylinders and since water isnt as compressible as air, KABLAMO!!

azndoc · 12-30-2007, 12:57 PM

Wow, there's got to be more to this story other than going through heavy traffic.

a_ahmed · 12-30-2007, 12:59 PM

*S13Boosts* · 12-30-2007, 01:02 PM

*Drift N Dragg* · 12-30-2007, 01:26 PM

KAZA · 12-30-2007, 01:32 PM

hijack3d · 12-30-2007, 01:38 PM

Wow... you must've had some bad karma or something recently to have that happen... especially in the rain.. I'm pretty sorry. Too bad you're not in SoCal... I do have a spare block I'm trying to give away....

muddafakka · 12-30-2007, 02:09 PM

Damn that sucks.

kingyogi · 12-30-2007, 03:35 PM

thursday i passed thru macon going to summit, we hydro planed twice then finally had to pull over. couldnt see 3 foot infront of the car at all. my s14 was loosing alot of power too for some reason.. good thing it was sold minutes later. weather has been bad since thursday in georgia... still fucking raining right now

super240sx7185 · 12-30-2007, 03:39 PM

Yea its crazy only mods were underdrive pulleys,cai,header,exhaust,walbro fuel pump,all accesories removed,electric fan. I also just replaced the oil pump when i installed the motor, ihave aftermarket gauges and the temp was fine and oil pressure was around 75 as far as i could tell from a/f gauge it was ok(narrowband). The engine used no oil between changes just changed 2300 miles ago with castrol 20w50 high mileage. Anyways my friends dad seems to think the wrist pin broke sending the rod thru the side of the block multiple times since i found parts of the piston on the ground also. Oh and i dint even have enough speed to get out of the road had to push it lol.

LA_phantom_240 · 12-30-2007, 03:46 PM

20w50? Goddamn! Why so thick?
