remember that motor i blew up?
well, its out, and apart now, and... damn, lol... i thought it was ****ed, but saveable, i was wrong, the cause(like i suspected) was the oil pump driveshaft, however it wasnt rounded like i thought, it twisted and is broken, i dont even know where the bottom piece is.
sticking out the passenger side of the oil pan was a rod cap. droped the pan, and 2 rod caps were gone, one in the side, and the other was in the pan, the two pistons are ****ed...some skirting is broken off of each of them, and the rods, one is just bent up, the other part of it is just gone, lol.
the block is ****ed, its trash now, where both pistons took a ****, the cylinder wall toward the bottom is missing big chunks.
new motor is just about ready to drop in, i need to bolt up the trans and all here in a few min, and then the intake/valve covers will go on after its in the car, because i painted everything.
pics of everything are uploading now...
