Stang is broken

[Stangfreak95]

I was just giving my buddy a good ride to show him what it could do and suddenly I felt something really weird with the throttle. A huge loss of power also. I was feet away from an exit on the highway so I took it. Now that I was almost stopped, I saw that there was something really wrong. Started smoking and stuff..

I took the first street which was maybe 100feet away and I parked the car. There's no external leak anywhere. I start the car again and HUGE thick WHITE smoke is coming off the exhaust and car runs like crap obviously. I'm thinking it's the head gasket(s) but I'd like to have confirmation.

Is there any way I can find out without removing heads ? How about a compression test ?

That pisses me off since the stang is for sale. Now I'll have to open it up to fix it. There was no really interest anyway. I feel like just stripping it down and sell it stock. I'll propably get my money back more this way.

Any help guys would be really appreciated.

i can't diagnose your problem, but when you sell your car, return it to stock-ish and sell all the other parts, you'll get a LOT more $$$ that way

Please tell me wtf happened there !

This is sparkplug for piston #8. ALL my (8) sparkplugs are wet but this is the nly one damaged... I'll have to remove the heads but should I do some compression test ?

I would say U dont need to do a compression test. SOmething is seriusly wrong with that cylender..... Remove that head..... I would guess a broken piston/piston rings or valve... Just a guess .. But there is something seriusly wrong if the plug looks like this. . SOrrry man

That electrode is jsut bent right not melted? WHat about the ceramic? I am not sure if my screen is just too dark or if it is the picture itself.

OOO Something hit. That isn't good.

 

[Stangfreak95]

well both vc's are off and everything looks good from there but thats bs cause I found a big amount of oil in the upper intake and some pieces of what looks like a busted ring...

On the spark plug the whole ceramic part in it is practicly gone. Chit I hope my AFR heads are ok..

that blows, i feel for ya,but it sounds like you solved yur problem [broken piston ring] and possible other damage.finish pulling the heads and look for other broken parts.good luck

 

[Stangfreak95]

Here's what I found...

Piston exploded/melted and slingshot some pieces on the sparkplug and in the valves I assume. I need to change 2 valves on the heads. They are bent and arent closing right anymore. I'm putting the engine back to stock..if the block is still usable

why are you selling your car?

and on a good note. at least you got the wheels up pic before your motor took a ****.

good luck.

Were you on the nitrous when it happend? I guess that cylidner got lean for some reason

 

[Stangfreak95]

No I wasnt on the juice when it happened. I had my good plugs and naturally aspirated timing like I always had. I was at WOT on the highway, nothing special. I didnt change anything. Thats why I dont know wtf happened

And I'm selling cause I have some school debts, all around credit card debts, and I'm moving out on July 1st and I wont be able to afford 2 cars anymore.

Sorry about your damage
