Dropped valve, the aftermath.

[SBV116]

Chap only had it 3 days, then this happened.

 

[Rob_Kipper]

Nightmare! Poor chap!

head can be welded and reshaped? seen worse rebuilt.

 

[Joe#]

Terrible luck

Are you rebuilding it, or just swopping the block?

 

[JackJack]

Ouch, I'd be gutted.

 

[SBV116]

Second hand engine already been sourced I believe.

 

[Russ_16v]

Ooft, made a good mess that

 

[Bluebeard]

Stick some Radweld in it, be reet.

 

[Gray]

[Dan@SJM]

PMSL! You can't be a true car dealer then.

[Matt@codered]

3days! Does he like the rev limiter....
shame though I'd be proper pissed off if that happened to me, ah great... That's just jinxed it.

 

[.:Tank:.]

T cut? That's pretty messy!

 

[mikekean]

I raise you







Cup racer engine, sucked all the coolant in and bent all the rods. Was like Thomas the Tank engine out the exhaust.

 

[Laine_16v]

I'll trump you both

 

[SBV116]

I had one with a hole like that! I think Danny has a pic of it I sent him somewhere.

 

[fil_b]

i been there

timing the 1st time and 10 days later dropped a valve!!

Birchdown fitted the 2nd hand engine!!

cant fault it now

 

[mikekean]

Haha thats bad! did the motor hydraulic though?

 

[Laine_16v]

mine blew up on the rev limiter probably why it looks so catastrophic lol, it certainly made quite some bang and a lot of smoke.

 

[Cliotoby]

I'll trump you both

What the hell did you do to that lol!?

 

[Laine_16v]

Changed the rev limiter to 7500rpm, 3 minutes later i was at the side of the road in a cloud of smoke. I blame poorer quality pattern part valves for the failure though.
