04CHASE Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I had some free time so i started taking the lq9 out yesterday. I hit a couple roadblocks so i finished it up today. The crank was frozen solid, we couldnt get the torque converter bolts out so we had to drop the front diff followed by the oil pan it was a pita to try free up the crank so it would spin. Here is where we got the oil pan off and we found this ...... i knew it was looking bad after this. nto to mention i was hoping on possibly salvaging the heads but no they are paperweights .(ugly ones at that) i couldnt beleive how bad my motor was. i was just laughing the whole time as pieces of metal came off everytime we would move it. i think the only thing that may be able to used again is the oil pan and that is going to take alot of cleaning just to get all of the metal out of it. here is a side shot of the block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 and here are the rest. pretty nice. this all happened withing a matter of 2-3 seconds , we were runnign about 10 psi and 17 degrees of timing, this happened at 5000 rpms off a launch in first gear the afr was almost dead on @ 11.8 . i would have been alot more pissed if it were a rod bolt that failed because i probably could have prevented that. I just hope this to be a learnign lesson. Hopefully many will see more than 10 psi on a stock lq9 isnt a wise idea. i really wish i would have finished my other motor before i completly destroyed this one. but oh well shit happens.

montanass Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Grenade? C4 explosive? That's some serious carnage, but 10 psi can do funny things to stock motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

air force vm Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My god, thats one messed up motor. Good luck with the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I blew up my 06 R6 racebike last year, looked very similar. All I could do was laugh also when I turned the motor over and the pieces fell to the ground. Funny what 16200 rpm will do to a motor. Good luck with the new motor, we all know that you will build it right. $$$$$ Wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
