Worst blown 2.5L Ive seen thus far.

[svttour]

Knocked the A/C compressor right off the block.

What caused it to blow? A rod or what?

 

[FauxhawkFox]

Was this out of the black one?

If so when did you get it over here?

Im waiting for people to start posting their blow ups but thats pretty bad. Ive seen a true CAI suck some water up some motors and make holes but nothing that big.

Time for a new Escape oil pan!

 

[Beans]

I bet that made a awesome noise, LMAO!

 

[Swazo]

Sweet, was that a rod failure? If so, it'd be one of the first that I've seen on a Duratec.

 

[blu_fuz]

Oh my

 

[TheMexicanJob]

pure win.

That provides new meaning to the term "ventilated the pan".

Now I see where the baffles are missing!

 

[AliasJerk]

im sure thats what the SVT motor we pulled yesterday would have done if we would have let it throw the rod.

Idiot ran the motor with no oil in it :troutslap:

 

[cobrawannabe]

Holy crap! That think really let 'er rip! Where'd the piston/rod end up?

 

[svttour]

I have no idea guys. We will need to wait until OB1 chimes in because he is the one who pulled it last night. It came from a 98 silver SVT.

 

[OB1]

I have yet to pull the heads on it. I have some more pics but thats the jist of it there. It was a PITA to pull b/c the AC compressor was pushed out & wouldn't budge. I'm gonna be picking up aluminum chips for a while. He revved it til it melted!

 

[Mywhip]

holy hell that's terrible

 

[CraigTRD]

Now that's what I call "putting a window in it".

Awesome!

Yuck. I had a customer at autozone once that loved to change his oil in the parking lot and hang out around the store. So one day he's in his NX2000 and comes to change the oil. From inside the store I hear him revving the engine and then this wet clank sound, a pop and then what sounded like what I imagine a metal baby crying would sound like. Turned out his friend was supposed to put the oil in the car before he came inside to use the restroom but of course didnt.

And that is why I don't let anyone else change it but me.

i had to yell at an oil tech when i had my mustang because he was about to fill my power steering reservoir with oil. thank god i was outside my car watching him. :nonono:

After looking at that for a bit, just throw some aluminum foil over the hole and it will be fine.
