(i got this from a local forum (fourmshawaii) im from hawaii any way check it out. not sure if this should be in here but i found it funny as hell

my buddy just got a hatch with b16 and has a loud irregualr knocking sound. He told me to check it out, performed power balance and would go away at # 4 told him rod was bent.
so I removec the head and found there was know #4 piston in cyl. removed pan and nothing aswell...

 

WOW!!..... thats intense. musta been knockin pretty good lol

 

woops

 

what the hell...bwahaahaha

 

LOL! How in the world is this possible?

 

didnt think it would be able to run

 

rod does look bent though....so you were right haha

 

thats crazy, did he contact the guy he bought the car from?


on a side note, whats up with the spoon symbol on the license plate??

 

did you get good gas mileage? Lol, that sucks dude.

 

Did he run oversized valves?? LOL

 

WTF??? u think the previous owner just slapped the motor back together without the piston? LMFAO!!!!!!!

"i knew i forgot something" lol must have sounded like a tractor

 

im sure the owner that sold that car knew what had happen. he probably remove the oil pan and clean every thing out.

 

Just when you thought you'd seen it all....

 

maybe its a new weight saving mod!!! ha ha

he didnt hear anything when he test drove it ? i wonder how many miles its been like that !

 

ya know how when you finish a project and have bolts left over? This guy had a piston left over and shruged it off. lol classic.

*edit: that bore has some pretty deep gouges in it.

 

that's funny as hell.

 

wow....I really can't say a whole lot else. How someone can put a motor back together without a piston is amazing! Does the cylinder head look ok?

 

This has to be a joke, there is no way engine would run without a piston.

 

Even if it did run how do you test drive it buy it and drive it home like that?

 

Wow, I could not see the sleeve being ok especially with the crank rotating at 1000's of rpms but wow man... WOW!!
