would you look at this poo poo. we just did a Run and picked up 3 engines and when we cracked the valve cover off the 3rd one it was full of thick sludge anyone ever seen this before??? absolute crazyness....

 

naaa this motors goin back Im not gonna take that crap

 

Where did you get that motor? Thats some pretty thick stuff in there.


Yager-

 

It probs has been running on crude oil.......................

 

nah, thats vegetable oil man!!!!!

 

Vaseline

 

Guess I need to bring my 10mm socket with me when I go to buy the motor .....

 

Damn that sucks bro, I just picked up my motor this weekend. At least it looks better than that. but I did F*ck up my truck.






And this is what happens when you don't tie the engine down right

DAMN!!

That will probably cost as much as the motor did just to fix .... that sucks dude!

 

that's what trucks are for!

but seriously, that does suck

 

That motor is really gummed up. I opened my valve cover up to replace some gaskets nd mine was clean as a whistle. No buildup at all. I would seriously send that thing back and get another one.

 

More. luckly progressive is going to cover it. the truck was a rental. LOL The estmate was for 2000. 700 more than the swap.

 

Can you say penzoil that sucks

 

My first Z6 head was just like that... hehehehe The previous owner(s) did not do their 3,000 mile oil changes. Or kept it checked, allowing all that "coke" to build-up. Take a close look at your cam races, they may be damaged from the lack of lub.... Thats what happened to the first one

How do you suppose that motor got so gunked up? Is it salvageable?

 

You wanna see pictures of the JDM B16A I got?

I wish the picture were more clear on this one (POS camera), it's a picture of the moutning point on the block for the motor mount. I guess the car this engine came from was in a front left fender wreck: http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0016.jpg

The mount was cracked. Not something you want in a car that will have incredibly stiff mount bushings, and it going to be for track only..So insteda of DoEs AnYoNe KnOw WheRe I CaN GeT SoMe StRObE LiTEZ AnD LiGhT uP WiNdShiElD NoZzLeS??ing around with welding or whatever, we just bought an LS to go with it, and built the LS/VTEC.

The mount bolts, notice it's bent?: http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0018.jpg

This was in our oil pan: http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0020.jpg

Corrosion in the spark plug holes. 3 of them were full of water (salt water I would assume): http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0023.jpg

One of the plug holes was corroded enough to cause the spark plug to be seized in there. when trying to take the plug out, the threads just broke off the plug, you can still see the tip of the plug: http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0025.jpg

You can probably tell which 3 plug holes had water in them, here are the plugs that came out (minus the threads on one of them): http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/crx/i...6/DSCF0029.jpg


Plus the VTEC sensor was broken, TPS was broken, a few nipples on the intake mnifold were bent (one broke off when bending back), and the crank pulley and alternator pulley was cracked. The whole engine was just a pain in my ***.

But it's all worked itself out.

 

Man, who did you buy THAT heap from????

 

Both of those motors are pretty DoEs AnYoNe KnOw WheRe I CaN GeT SoMe StRObE LiTEZ AnD LiGhT uP WiNdShiElD NoZzLeS??ed up! Talk about not changing your oil!!!

Dan

 

That motor probably never ever had an oil change in its life. When i used to work at a Toyota dealership a customer brought in a car and it had 55k miles on it and she said she never changed the oil. When we popped off the valve covers that is exactly what we saw, maybe a little worse. LOL

 

I did a valve adjustment on my friens XSi about 3 weks ago that looked close to that but he has never changed the Oil in about 30000km's so that night be some of the reason's why some of the engines from over here look like bunk ..most Japanese only change there oil ever 2 years..sooo

 

Spoon,

Is that a Ford Ranger? I did the same exact damage to my friends truck when I went to pick up my ZC. Damages were right over 2k. Luckily his insurance covered it but I was out $500 for his deductible. LOL

That kind of buildup results from water contamination in the oil. Water contamination can happen from daily driving without changing the oil, or the engine exposed to the elements too long.
