I havent seen or heard of a 3 cyl since the geo metros! haha

 

so what really happen.

 

no joke it really happened from what i heard he heard the knock but didn't care and just wanted the car.

 

aliens abducted his piston ?

 

I heard there was a few that came with that option from the factory..

 

Wow this is funny what does the car look like since he wanted the car so bad with a knocking noise?

 

dam u would think the previous owner would have at least took off the rod when he pulled oil pan to clean out the shavings

 

maybe the race fuel evaporated the piston like that plane that hit the pentagon on 9/11

 

wow thats funny

 

so was the seller a local guy from maui or he bought it from a different island?

 

the guy bought it from some one on oahu from what i understand and i think he lives there also

 

The piston might be stuck in the header or the CAT?!!

 

was the engine flooded with fuel?

 

It was probably getting to that point. If it was ran a while w/o changing the oil, there's good chance the thinned oil will have ruined many parts, including the head. If the retard that did that didn't replace the rod, the motor would have had zero oil pressure. I would think the sleeve wouldn't be that far gone, since the windage (sloshing oil) would have been spraying heavily on the sleeve.

A motor missing a piston like that would run even better (vs just pulling a plug/injector wire) since the dead cylinder doesn't create the losses of injesting/compressing/expelling the air.

 

thing disapeared like David copperfield....

 

LOL, nice

I bet the oil was getting pretty fuel fouled.

 

best thread ever, in for updates!~!!

 

haven't heard anything new yet

 

Hahaha, that's amazing dude.

Hope it all goes well and your mate gets some money back for it!
