Super hung over from Mark's party last night but Kody came over for an afternoon/evening of 'do work son.' Had the head off after about two hours and the motor on the floor a few hours after that. On to the carnage pics.
Head off, piston#1 at TDC. Problem?
Head looks like it ate some shit. Just run it or should I get this cleaned up?
Good productive use of a saturday evening:
Piston out of cyl1, top ring missing about 1/3 and lower ring siezed in place:
Ouchie. Close-up of sides of piston:
Now close-ups of the cylinder walls. Just damage everywhere. Not sure what causes this but yea, not super pumped.
Cyl1(rear then front):
Cyl2(rear then front):
Cyl3(rear then front):
Cyl4(rear then front):
And finally, close-up of little damage on piston#4
So yea there it is. Gonna finalize what to do with the engine rebuild next week but MAP is offering me an extra nice deal on their new X-beam rods for the evoX. Comments/diagnosis/suggestions welcome!
Special thanks to Kody (GG_9_SE) for the hand today, couldn't have done it alone!
