bad idea or terrible idea?

[iceminion]

Sorry about not posting, there is a reason behind the maddness:

Yes, the engine is ruined, thats what happens when your engine SWALLOWS A BOLT, LOL!!

I seriously have no idea how it got in there, cylinder 2 is in sad shape.

Looks like the bolt passed through the engine ok, but the lock washer totally f*cked up the turbine blades of the v-Trim.

The vent that I created worked great, but if I was to do it again, I would put it in a different place.

The ideal place for the hole to be drilled is at the end of the balance shaft housing, facing the transmission. I will be drilling a hole there tonight on my forged engine.

P.S. Even though the engine is ruined, we re-used the shortblock (head ruined/valves bent) on my brother's 96GSX, and the car has driven around the neigbhorhood several times with no problems

(well, clutch engagement issues, but no ENGINE problems, probably a ton of blowby LOL)

ill get carnage pics tonight!
