I have some probs here and there, but as far as a turbo motor (or otherwise) what are the typical signs of the motor being blown ?

 

usually when it doesnt work or wanna start anymore... or when it smokes ALOT...

 

low or no compression, a lot of smoking, irratic idle speeds, poor performance, raddling noises, and/or car does not start at all

 

 

Bone,

You must post that picture of the block 10 times a day. It is hilarious but you gotta get a new one.

As for the original question:
A rpm based knocking sound, excessive oil burning, low/no compression on a cylinder. Any abnormal clunks are all signs of the motor being shot.

Metalic fragments in the oil are a sign of rings headed out the door..

 

something that i noticed yes..and all the other signs are good..i had crazy smoke out of the exhuast, and a wannabe purge valve like smoke coming from under my hood. also, the low compression

 

Dont worry Mistabone Hondabond will fix that right up.

 

haha

 

hondabond can fix anything!!

 

Shiet.....JB weld will fix anything you mean. That stuff is ******* amazing!!

 

 

looks like you got slimed...

 

how do you know? well, you know for sure once you take the pistons out of your engine, and some/all of them look like this..

 

How does this happen, it looks like the rod hit the side of the block. Doed the block flex so much that it just makes contact?

 

Looks like a thrown rod bolt to me.

I blew a motor before.....I had a serious Rod knock...You should know off the bat....mostly becuase the idle isnt right.
