Hole In The Block???

[h1_roll4]

you hear all the time that the old toyota engines are pretty much indistructable.

 

i think otherwise.

the bigends in my ke70 panelvan were stuffed and i think i pushed it a bit to hard.

anyway long story short big bang, lots of smoke and the car shaking insanly.

 

ive only just had a look to see what happned and theres a hole the size of a fist in the left side on the block.

 

 

has anyone else had a similar thing happn?

 

when i get a chance i'll pull the engine out and take some pics.

Saw an old 3y 'chuck a leg out of bed' couple of years ago.

You've probably don't much the same thing - busted a rod or maybe gudgeon pin, the remainder of the rod did the nutbush and you can see the result!! :poke:

Wait - before you pull it out, see how many more burnouts you can get out of it!

 

My old housemate worked for Cat, and for their christmas breakup, they drained the oil and water out of a 120y and ran it for 10 minutes till it spat a rod. They let it cool down, started it up running on 3 and did some more burnouts. Then they auctioned off it and the winner drove over it in a D10 dozer hahaha.

Local bike club do that as a fundraiser. Take three different engines. drain vital fluids and rev them until the go bang.

yeah ive blown up a 3k in speedway and spat 2 rods out the side because one race meet the oil sump seal blew out and all the oil drained out and done 6 minutes at 6500rpm with no oil and then bang 2 big holes in the block and the sump blew to pieces wasent good as it was at the state titles

Havent managed it with a K.

 

In my old commodore I left home for griffith (55km away) and noticed some loud rattling, being ignorant I just shrugged it off and kept going.

 

30 mins later I am almost there and all of a sudden to hold my 90km/h I had to hold it flat after giving it a decent gutful around some bends.

 

Chug the last 5km into griffith and it is sounding worse than anything I have ever heard, can't keep it running and eventually stalls at a roundabout.

 

Push it around the corner and look under the bonnet, it was FATF style! pretty white smoke!

 

Being the deadset legend I am (hmm?) I notice there is no coolant and my battery is fairly knackered. So I walk down to bigW and buy some coolant and a battery.

 

Back at the "beast" I notice the coolany disappeared very quickly into nowhere but I wasnt deterred I was going to drive this sucker home. After a good minute or two on the key the old 202 rattled back into life only to completely seize a few seconds later.

 

 

 

What happened? The 202's are known to pop pistons, the only reason she seized was the crown fell between the crank and the block. otherwise I would have driven home.

all the toyota engines ive seen seem hard to kill

 

they can take a flogging, (if maintained)

 

GO TOYOTA..
