The damage!
on: July 30, 2007, 23:40:18 PM
Well, got the sump off:



Extracted Number one piston and saw the damage after I wiped the oil off it.




I tapped the back of the piston and the bits broke off!!



Thank god I didnt drive it hard or far with the piston in that shape or I would have been looking for a new block as well !!

When I take something apart and bits fall off after I have the part in my hand  Im often left wondering how the hell it worked at all while the component was cracked/damaged.  Because sure as hell, you couldnt put the bit back in place where it was build the thing back up and expect it to work.

Very strange.

You know, I havent even thought about what its going to be like having a 500+ bhp car (That turbo will pull 600 all day long) on the road

I have a rough idea that its going to be AWESOME though !!

youd be hard pressed to get a calibra into a hedge in 6 seconds, since itll be FWD or at least FWD bias and wont even hit 60mph in that time
