pics didnt come out so clear, but you get the idea

How you blow it.

lol that last picture looks like the wrist pin that holds the piston to the connecting rod... how the fuck did that get into the oil pan?

your right EclipseRST, that is the wrist pin, and that chunk of metal is the end of the connecting rod that it goes through. The connecting rod is still connected to the crank, I havent found the piston yet, it is laying in there somewhere though. I dont know exactly why it blew up, I wasnt even driving it when it happened, I was in the car though. It blew in 2nd gear at about 2800 rpms.

tragic as it may be, that scares the shit out of me... :eek:

lol I had the same thoughts. The car blew up and layed a block and a half streak of oil, we rolled into a parking lot, I got out and as sad as it was I couldnt do anything but laugh, especially when I got the block out and took a good look at it.

glad you lauged about it that means that im allowed to. :rofl:

THAT SUCKS...sry to hear about ur bad luck

That's nuts!!! Only 2800 RPM's when it blew??? I wonder what went wrong???
