My friend has a 2002 Altima 2.5 S witn 120k kilometers (70k miles). Recently he wound it to 6000rpm and BLEW the piston to peices :uhoh: , distroyed the head, gouged the cylinder wall and TWISTED A FORGED CONNECTING ROD :eek2: , I unno how he did that. So now he needs a new motor (QR25DE) need to kno where to get one cheap NOT NISSAN (want $4000 w labor, $2300 for the motor). Car is on his father's lease :banghead: , so he doesn't want NISSAN to kno about it. The 2.5 was a fun car till it blew up.

My friend asked, "Is it insured against fire and theft"?

I wish i could torch it but sadly no.

Gettin the cylinder wall and remainder of piston assembly tonight. ENJOY!!!!!!

Nice pic's. No doubt it was turning a little more than six. Then the intake valves touch the pistons, bend a little and then each time the valve seats it bends the valve back and forth until it breaks off. Look for little marks on the other three pistons.

did no marks but puttin a new engine in it.
