well i got it in and drove it daily @ 10 psi for about 3 weeks.. and i was on the highway cruising @ 80mph and i hear a slight knock.. pull over and yep its a rod knocking away @ idle.. well im 15 miles from my town so i try to limp it back home to save on a wrecker fee.. well 1 mile from the exit... boom it lets go..

destroyed the #1 rod...

the piston looks like it made contact with the valves.. the valves are 1mm oversized ferrerra titainium.. they dont look bent they dont even look like the were touched, but the pston says otherwise.. time to build that sleeved block i have.. hopefully i will only need a rod and piston and not vavles..

 

see the marks by the vavle reliefs.. i hope the valves are stronger than the pistons prob not though ..

 

That sucks. What went wrong, bearing clearance issue?

 

i really dont know.. just ost oil pressure maybe,.. somthing got clogged up who knows..


i dont think it was bearing clearance cause the bottom end was in my black civic for over a year with no probs

 

ouch.....!

 

yeah looks as if it was a oiling issue for sure! Are there anything left of the rod bearings? Any signs to the other rod bearings or mains?

 

wow you destroyed that eagle rod...youre the man

 

do you think a rod bolt came loose and caused the other to loosen?!?!?! sorry for the loss

What he thinks doesn't matter much. When he KNOWS something, we'll talk. We don't need to start baseless hypotheses floating around here simply because his D-series shat itself.

 

Oh god, my worst nightmare. I probably watch my oil press. gauge more than I watch the road.

Was this on a y8 oil pump...?

 

your car is RHD is that a legit car or a conversion, hopefully the rebuild gos smooth for you.

 

To the post above me... Thats a great eye you got... I noticed the master cyl is on the other side as well...

But back to the motor... Yeah best thing to do to see where you began to go wrong would be to look up on the oil pump and see if you have bearing material... if not then my next guess would would be a rod bolt failed... Good luck and nice set up... Ill be subscribing to your next build...
Approx how much power were you making... thats a decent sized blow dryer my friend... LOL

 

well that sux..

in for answers as to what happened.

 

damm eagle broke

prob only making 300whp when it broke..

i was on low boost..

motor is year old.. been through hell.. havent even checked the other bearings but i iwll tonight.. it looks like a arp bolt just took a dump..

the bolts are arp2000 bolts the big ones

 

Wow, sucks to ruin eagles and ferra valves.

I have one question though, why did you notch the girdle? My eagles clear the z6 girdle just fine.

Damn Dirty! That blows

good luck w/ the rebuild

 

it got really close to my girdle i didnt wanna take a chance.. so i notched to be safe

 

Time to come back stronger and boost more on that freshly built block! Sorry about the loss though. You ever find out if it was Oil Press. or not? Great pics of the damage too

 

damn that sucks man ive been following your build for awaile. Rod looks like it got pretty damn hot .

 

Next time stop driving it. You'll save yourself some money. Probably could have got away with a bearing change (just dropping the oil pan).

 

Holy **** that rod is messed up. Sorry about your shitty luck man

 

Good posibility you spun a bearing! That sucks dirty! Exspecialy this close to race season!!

i had to notch my z6 girdle because the rod bolts hit it. i dont know it some of the girdles are different or if i just had different rod bolts, the bolt head on them was really big but they were the ARP 2000's
