blown engine??

[Jarred]

as richie benau would say..

...and that's lunch


bahahah. finally got round to ripping my head off this arvo. (had nothing better to do really), and as Preen had predicted and I hoped myself too, I've droppped a valve. Damage is quite evident, so there's no point repairing this engine really. Not that I'm fussed. I'll just pop a new one in.

Still not sure what caused the damage actually, but I have my suspicions.

and really, what you've all been waiting for..

THE PICS!!!

















(sorry for the fuzzyness..)

Yes, that is actually stuck in the piston! hahaha I'm quite proud of myself actually. piston 4 will go in my bed head as a trophy I think...

nice work !!!!!!!!!!!!
its def done and dusted
looks like someones been floging it a bit to hard
keep the block and stuff maybe for a future rebluild
its the weekend are you going to drop the other engine in?

[Jarred]

wont put the new donk in yet, I'm a bit busy for a while yet, so it'll have to wait a bit.

and it is possible I did flog it a fair bit, but only for like 2 weeks! I swear! ahahaa

I wont worry bout the block. not worth keeping, get scrap metal money for it and then save up for a 1.8!

Dude, golf engines will take it, especailly standard. Aslong as you don't over rev the sh*t out of it. I'd say you were just unlucky and that head is pretty tired.

Woo, i was right..

Nice work. Pretty mild damage really, i was expecting worse. Heck i've seen worse when the 4 stroke endurance kart i was driving dropped a valve at the creek. (i really felt that one.. BANG, crunch crunch crunch quiet...).

Keep the complete donk, from the pics it doesn't look like its even damaged a seat.

[Peter Jones]

Yeah minor stuff. (But still effective at stopping the car. )

That's fixable, but not worth the bother.

Get back to us when you've managed to put a rod through the block then we'll be impressed!

We will also be forced to remove the golf from you for it's own protection.

A mighty effort! As preen said could just be age but you should also make sure you're not running it too lean as the valves will over heat and fall off!

Usually the MK1 Motors love to rev - yours just lost the will to live.

The tune doesnt look too bad. Looking at the other chamber and the er.. 'open' exhaust port you have there, it looks pretty good. Its hard to tell with a street engine but i wouldn't say lean. The exhaust port isn't light enough.

[Jarred]

I was fiddling around with the tune at the time, so i reckon it had something to do with it.

I had been runnin rich for 2 tanks, (got 13 L/100k!) so i leaned it out a fair bit, but i didn't think too much. but who knows.

and as pete said, it could be repaired, but it's not even worth it! I won't bother keeping the block. and I already have a spare head or two. So I think I should be alright for the time being
