Bent a few rods and now trying to figure out if the block is still salvagable. The rods bent enough to gouge into the bottom of the cylinders. Hopefully still usable without having to get resleeved. Hope a little overbore will work.

Block: notice the marks where the rods hit the bottom of the cylinder.


Bent *** Rods: Glad they didnt break

 

might i ask how the fuc]< you did that

 

damn. well. atleast you dont have a hole in your block i guess.. how'd you do that??

 

when i hydro locked the motor i snapped a rod and bunched holes in the front and the back of the block.... the lower wall was chipped bad and the gurdle on the bottom was tweeked kinda bad. if you are talking D sereis just pick up a used block for $250 bucks or so .... the usually wont even seperate a D block so you'll even have a spare head. and if you want rebuild that one with new rings and overbore. thats my suggestion. there is just so much stuff that can happen to the block when rods bend/break. you would have to check the clearances again on the crank too... if you scared it you would have to get it reserfaced and new bears anyway....

lmao i never in my life saw 4 perfectly bent rods at the same time in the same motor. i seen 1 in a motor or 1or 2 broken rods. but damn 4 identical bent rods lol.

btw thats a B series, looks like a b18c1 but yeah what the hell happend?

 

Holy crap.... what are the chances....

 

bore it out and make a 2.0 GSR motor.

the rodds are strong and clean as well as the block and main bearings spot. looked like a clean and healthy B

that prolly happened because missing a gear with no rev limit spinning motor to 10-11k rpm or over revving in 1st gear launch

 

lol i didnt even realize there were pics... i'm on a DoD server we dont get to see everything here at work

 

those should be hung on a wall.

what do you plan on doing next?

 

You should measure them all and calculate your new compression ratio! Thats amazing they didn't break, wow.

 

Awesome desk ornaments.

They look fine, just slap them in a vice and straighten them up.

Oh yeah its a B18c1.

I have one rod from back in the days that bent in my b18a, i have that hangin on the wall. Now gotta make room for these 4. I have never seen 4 bent and none broken or gone through the block.

It was hydrolocked. Im gonna take it to a machine shop tomorrow and get it magnafluxed to check for anything major. Hopefully i can just get it bored out and just use some oversized pistons. If i have to i might just get it sleeved and run some super dupers in her.

kinda funny... sorry man.... sucks to hear

 

Crap

I assume you had a CAI? With or without a bypass valve?

 

Crazy! One of my rods shattered on me, not because of hyrdo lock, but because the wrist pin some how seized. Needless to say, was not able to reuse the block, only the head. Best of luck man

 

Cold Air Intakes are the devil! A friend of mine did the same thing with a CAI on a ZC he got really lucky though, cut the engine off and pulled the plugs an left it in the garage while the water dried out. Couple days later and an oil change and new plugs and wires it started right up. He said that his cylinders were completely full.

Yeah if you drive in a 6 foot deep puddle, but if your gonna try something like that, you should not be driving the car anyways. It takes a hell of a lot of water to hydro lock and engine

It only takes the displacement of one head dome. Less if your piston has positive displacement. ~38ccs is not a lot of water...

Not necessarily. People who don't know whats going on when they hydrolock their engines, and they keep on cranking it, are not aware of what they are doing to their engines. They need to leave it alone!

 

Well yeah, cranking it makes it your own dumb fault. But a lot of the damage happens during the sudden stop of the crankshaft too. Either way, the car didn't drive itself into the lake, so it's always driver error.

But when you suck up water, it does not mean its all going right inside the engine, I would say half of it gets stuck in the intake. Your not just gonna run over a normal size puddle and hydro lock your engine. Plus water burns easliy so if you only suck in a little at time it will burn right off. You can steam clean the inside of your engine like that.
