It seems like 95% of engine faliures are someone's mistake at some point in time, either the builder or the operator

Unless you get a freak failure of a computer or a sensor that ends in engine destruction

a bad sensor would be bad matainence in my opinoin... the computer thing is somewhat reasonable... but u could have a computer good cuz of a bad install or something along those lines... its pretty much human error

it was detonating (as seen by the silver flecks in the combustion chamber) and thats what broke the piston. running stock timing with a blower is a no no, it should have been retarded from the start.
improper timing/ tuning killed the engine. its not the blowers fault. its yours.

RE: Look what boost did for me :(
I've got an update on the engine... Took it the rest of the way apart today, and 5 of my pistons broke between the compression and scraper ring... One of the five being the one in the pic... I had one broken ring... Its amazing that it still made any power... It didn't smoke out of the pipes either, just out of the valve covers... But anyways, i'm guessing those sheety cast pistons couldn't handle the pressure, because there was no sign of detonation....

Timing wasn't advanced any, had it set stock... It didn't lean out from how the plugs and everything looked great... Damned ole cast pistons that someone put it it before me... I knew it was a matter of time before it came apart, not two weeks later though... Regardless, not gonna tear my car all to hell and it never really be dependable, so i'm gonna take the charger off for the time being and save it for a fox body and make this one my dd... My camry is getting a little old... haha
