Guest Guests Posted 23/03/09 02:25 AM Share Posted 23/03/09 02:25 AM Interesting, piston slappage, you sure about that?I built the engine, and I can guarantee you that it did not have excessive piston slappage Maybe the fact that the tune in the car was very aggressive could have something to do with the engine breaking! Feeding 24psi into it @ 3000rpm will destroy engines, no matter how well they are put together, but Russ wanted that 'tyresmoking rush' from low rpm, so that's the result.What happened is most likely a high throttle input from low rpm, a piston skirt either bent or broke due to excessive boost, causing the damage to the block, rods were 600 kw rated Atomic rods, so I don't see them breaking easily.The Mahle pistons in this particular engine, are running well in my own car right now, and though not 100% rattle free, they are very quiet, with only slight piston noise evident at idle, and I'm running 364rwkw with an auto, and never had a problem.Hope this sets the record straight - YOU PLAY, YOU PAYI regret this was the result for the new owner, and I hope the car is back on the road again soon one cylinder has a dirty big crack down it, its either 2 or 3 on the north side. pistons/rods are like new. quite a strange failure as it doesn't look like rings have let go. imperfection or damage in the block from previous failure maybe?but your right, it definatly had the tyresmoking rush thing going. turned the tires in 4th pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
