My supra had a bad time last night.

Well what was your a/f ratio and how much was it knocking? Even a little boost, running too lean and knocking will destroy bearings.

I don't think it was cause by me running lean or detonation. But we will see once I pull it apart if a piston is fucked I will eat my words.

Heres some more pics.

Carnage pictures this is what I found in rod #3

If I would have had fair warning the guy I got the block from was incompetent in putting together an engine I would have had the crank cut and smoothed out.
When I first popped the rod cap off it looked like there was no bearing at all and that thin pieces were what I managed to scrape off with a screwdriver.

lol'd at that. when you buy a motor ive found its best to just use the parts and re-assemble everything yourself

I highly doubt it had anything to do with tunning.................. either a oiling or bearing setup issue.......

I should listen to you more often.:icon_salut:

On another note I got the block completely stripped down and it looks like I might be able to do a hone job and replace the rotating assembly.

Oh and I threw the crankshaft like it was a shot put right out the door of the shop..... Where it still lies and I will cut it in half and use it as an anchor for my canoe.

Ahh, well from the first post all we knew was that he went out and was doing some tuning. No knowledge of a fresh engine!

Good luck with the rebuild!

[funky_monkey58]

Well the Block pistons rods and crank are all at the machine shop now.

I am really looking forward to this being done.
