What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[k31th]

looks like a very good result

Picked up a bf mk2 turbo motor with a suspect droped valve.

 

took her apart, the pictures tell a story, what story im not sure.. but as you have your beer tonight, lets speculate why number 6 wanted to die.

yikes, that piston is seriously bent...

[Puffwagon]

That's not bent, it's melted. Spicy timing and or too lean.

[k31th]

true... bent via turning it to a liquid or bent via blunt force trauma = same same

[BeerTurbo]

The car was stock bf mk2 manual, well stock injectors so id just presume it was not tunned.

 

My thoughts were inj 6 leaned out n it exploded after compression stroke as rod seems straight.

 

Ill work out how to measure the rods accurately later, as I was hoping to use in my baT motor... Well I guess that will only fly if I can repurpose one of the baT pistons.

[Puffwagon]

That's not a one time occurrence. It's the result of being held at wot until it blew up.

 

Look up precision international here in SA for stock pistons etc.

[arronm]

that's erosion on the piston from blow by combustion gasses.

Bit of an interior clean for the work horse with new shift & handbrake leathers today.
Seat and steering wheel leathers are getting very shabby but I'll stretch a couple more years out of em.

Hopefully picking up a new door for me xf panel van tomorrow after I did the old 'reverse with the door open and clean up the wheelie bin' trick.
