S14 carnage!!!!

[Funkmasta]

There was NO damage to the cylinder head. at all.

Is that the sub 1k engine from BC...if it was I was considering buying that for my 2002....I feel for ya man...

[Funkmasta]

yep...
No worries, I bought it as a parts motor anyway. The cylinder head is good, and really thats all I care about. I just like to have M parts on my shelf ;)

[Funkmasta]

no history on the motor at all. Timing chain and guides are new, and the cylinder head looks to have been replaced.

I saw that same kind of damage once in my mustang, according to my mechanic, the previous owner bored the cylinders too much, weakening the sleeves, one failed and I ended up with a bent rod and broken piston also.

Looks just like my cylinder did.

[Funkmasta]

yah, it wont surprise me to see piston damage... wont know until tomorrow

Hydrolock?...never seen one blow out the side of the cylinder wall though.

[e304me]

that would explain the rust

There was no water in the oil in the cyl head. :(

I am so baffled by this, it is really bugging me.
