I hurt it good this time (pic)

[classic boost]

think i can weld it up and grind it down?

 

[mrmustangman357]

detonation anyone? did it wreck the block too?

 

[suki243]

wow

 

[NasaGT]

A little JB Weld and you'll be running again in no time.

 

[Vinyl66]

Yeah JB weld should fix it up fine.

That sucks man! What do you think was the mode of failure? Too little fuel flow, too much timing, too little octane, combination......?

 

[STS_stang]

man that sucks

 

[classic boost]

too little fuel. it started going lean on me for some reason.
the bore has alot of slag on it, but doesn't seem to be ruined.

 

[Fast63]

wow, it looks like someone took a torch too it. What kind of pistons are those?

 

[iskwezm]

PUUUURLY cosmetic, just slap it back in.

 

[Edbert]

It's just a flesh-wound!

 

[mrmustangman357]

did you drive home on it?

 

[classic boost]

it's a j&e srp piston.
and yes, i drove it home (smoked like a train).

 

[mikethebike]

That'sust nasty.

 

[mrmustangman357]

so i would like to know, when did you figure out you blew a hole in your piston, as opposed to kissed valves, etc. do you have a pic of the bore? I'd like to see that too if you got one. NASTY!

 

[65ShelbyClone]

Well there's your problem!

 

[Fast63]

Well there's your problem!

 

[farmboy89]

that right there is a good one

 

[12sec67]

wow, you almost had me beat! How are the heads?

I didn't drive mine home the day mine went but I still had to deck the heads from the detonation pitting the heads.

 

[C0V3R]

I'm impressed it kept going

 

[classic boost]

I'm impressed it kept going

didn't even make a sound the whole ride home. just purred along (and smoke like an oil field fire).
