it worst than i thought!!!

95BlackStang · May 31st, 2009, 10:30 PM

ok i decided to start a new tread continuing from the starter problem. well i tried to turn the motor over by the crank pulley and it didn't budge i thought it might have been seized so i checked the oil and it was full of coolant and oil

so i took the pugs out and they were drenched in coolant!! so i took the intake off and it was full of coolant too(at this point i was like wtf is going on)

so i went on and took the heads off and thats when i saw that piston #8 was completely gone all that was left was the rod

, how the hell this happens if i was driving normal!

obviously time for a new motor... i'm sorry to hear about the trouble man. but does anyone have some insight as to why this happened?

Traidmarx · June 1st, 2009, 06:50 PM

how many miles were on the stock motor??

95BlackStang · June 1st, 2009, 08:23 PM

the motor had like 130 on it and im not sure if its been rebulit or not. yeah i looked again and the cylinder wall is callapsed so that motor is a paper weight now

. im thinking of the 347 but i would need new top end and im super broke right now(college student

). ive been looking on craigslist to see if i can find any rebuilt short blocks that are ready to put in but they they are a bit pricey.

Traidmarx · June 1st, 2009, 09:06 PM

wow sorry to hear it man....got any pics?

95BlackStang · June 1st, 2009, 10:08 PM

yeah i will post them tomorrow, but basically #8 cylinder looks like a hurricane ran trough it lol

95BlackStang · June 1st, 2009, 10:10 PM

i found this does it seem like a good deal?
302 cobra short block

RCRacer94GT · June 2nd, 2009, 12:51 AM

Sounds good. Go take a look at it.

You could also look for a 460

cheap too.

Looks like a very good deal but you should ask the guy why he's selling it. If he's just hard up and desperately needs the cash, go for it.

A 460 might also be cheap but everything you'll need to upgrade around it definitely isn't.

95BlackStang · June 2nd, 2009, 07:49 AM

yeah im going to go check it out tomorrow, he said he is got tired of the project he started and he also needs the the cash more than the block.

yeah a 460 would be bad ass but again short on money

95BlackStang · June 3rd, 2009, 08:36 PM

i have a q about the cam, will it cause any problems with the computer?

Started a new thread? What was the old thread?

What lead up to this? A piston doesn't come apart without making some noise. That rod pounding around in the cylinder had to make alot of noise too. So have you had different heads or intake put on this thing recently? I'm curious as to how all of that coolant got in the cylinders. I wouldn't reuse any of those parts until you determine the cause of the problem.

yeah i searched on this tread about stating problem cuz i thought my starter went bad but turned out that the motor broke.

well it happened so fast that i really didn't pay attention to listen, i was more interested in getting the car out of the way of traffic (country road), im pretty sure the coolant got there by leaking through the cylinder wall(ether the piston or rod busted it and thats how it leaked.) i haven't messed with the engine except for CAI, but every i tighten all the clamps down good. yeah im taking all the top end to a machine shop to have them inspected for any signs of damage.

sorry i meant cam not ca in my last post

Strange. I wonder what caused the piston to break....

95BlackStang · June 3rd, 2009, 11:13 PM

its a total mystery to me too, any ways do you think i will have a problem running that trickflow cam with stock stuff.

Traidmarx · June 3rd, 2009, 11:13 PM

maybe a valve came lose and hit the piston, and caused it to shatter??
