mcbrat Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 This is how the engine in my very first soob wagon died... (this was a couple years after I sold it... I got it back as a parts vehicle....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Did they run it out of oil? It's unusual to see a rod escape. I hydrolocked my EA82, bent the crap out of the rods, and it still held up to high revs (7k+ rpms). I figured if you can bend them and have them still hold together they must be pretty rugged.

WRX2FFU Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thats cool! Thats what my ej20 did running waaayyyy too much boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 well, I know the person (girl) ran over a median, and crushed the exhaust, and may have damaged the pan... I don't think I ever looked at the bottom... I saved the intake and above, the 4 doors, rear hatch, denders, and interior from it, and sent it to the crusher...

bheinen74 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 nice pic. thats the exact place my 95 LegL wagon silver bomber broke its ej22 block on my drive home with it (bought it with rod knock for 200bucks) and proceeded to drive it home.

Jerry DeMoss Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Just look at the way those rods are bent. Pretty weird. Poor ea81 block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sorry, but that's the kinda thing that gets my blood boiling. I can't believe people are so ignorant so as to let that happen to an engine that probably could outlast their next 3 cars. Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 That's what happened to the original engine from my lifted wagon. 165k - oil pump went bad and the lack of good oil pressure resulted in the #3 rod comming out of the top of the block.
