Thank you (for trying). I'm sorry to hear about it, and wish your friend good luck.

Well he got his car back so I think he is pretty lucky. It's done deal now.

U mean dealer fix?
Did he have to pay or was it covered?

GenBoom.

Man, I hate seeing that, but I also trust my @Lex tune, so I'm not too worried.

One good size hole in the block? Is that it? This guy ain't shit! If your gonna do it, do it right. 6 holes and a good chunk of the oil pan welcome to the genpu blown motor club... There aren't many of us w legitimate blown motors (2 of us were tuned by john@theshop at one point though, for those of u that can remember him).

What dealer did he take it to? I'm originally from the dayton area and I'm curious as to who went and fixed it no hassle

[specvspeedfreak]

I put it back to stock then he took the car to the dealer.Car was covered under warranty.. I feel like I gotta spell everything out for some here lol

He is not from Dayton

A very long time ago we have a theory and with some of the pictures of the blown engines, I might be on to something.

I know that this forum likes pictures and what not, so I am going to have to take some time and put together a test rig for people to watch my theory in action. Give me some time to work on it and I will be back with my findings.

Just wondering if your theory has anything to do with motor getting water-logged by oil?
Thats the only stuff I have been able to find, anyway.
That would just bend rods though, not assplode a piece of block.

Seeing this shit makes me not want to do anything to my car, had big plans for the summer
