2.5 Crunchiness

[69Boss302]

So when I bought this car it "had just developed a small knock" while the owner was cleaning the UIM/LIM. He shut it off and there it sat until the day I picked it up.

So let's start with what I see as I pull the timing cover off.

Then I decided to pull the heads off to get the motor mount off. I got lucky finding the destructo piston right away.

Some crunchiness even made it to the other side.

What a messy engine.

yeah, just a knock.

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

i cant wait to get my motor out and see what it looks like inside, i'm pretty sure everythings messed up except the intake manifolds lol

 

[Smalls]

holy shnikey, so you were initially tearing it down to find and fix the "knock"?


*sniff sniff sniff*

do you smell that?

it smells like a 3L

I knew that the engine was toast anyway or at least had it in my mind it was. The 3.0 has been sitting on the engine stand since March and is just outside the frame of any pics.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the flywheel is scorched and so is the pressure plate. The Luk clutch seems to be in decent shape but the edges are crumbly. Guess a Spec will be going in afterall. Time to work harder and sweat more to make more money.

Send those pics to the previous owner and tell him what a good job he did.

and i thought my original 2.5 was bad.....mine just had nicks off the piston.....DAMN!!

 

[novellino21]

just out of curiosity, who did you get that motor from and what car did it come out of?

 

[ChattavegasSE]

Holy balls that's crazy! :shocked:

 

[69Boss302]

it came out of the non-wrecked SVT I've had for a little over a year now.

 

[blu_fuz]

dayum boss.... I hope my motor does that some day soon.

 

[todras]

That as to be one of the worst I've seen for sure.

so, uh what was the history of this car? boosted? nitrous?? seems like some pretty extreme damage for a stock 2.5

i'd like to know that too. seems like someone forgot a hammer inside the motor and closed it up. how was it still running?
