March 4, 201016 yr This is how the engine in my very first soob wagon died... (this was a couple years after I sold it... I got it back as a parts vehicle....)
March 4, 201016 yr Did they run it out of oil? It's unusual to see a rod escape. I hydrolocked my EA82, bent the crap out of the rods, and it still held up to high revs (7k+ rpms). I figured if you can bend them and have them still hold together they must be pretty rugged.
March 4, 201016 yr Author well, I know the person (girl) ran over a median, and crushed the exhaust, and may have damaged the pan... I don't think I ever looked at the bottom... I saved the intake and above, the 4 doors, rear hatch, denders, and interior from it, and sent it to the crusher...
March 4, 201016 yr nice pic. thats the exact place my 95 LegL wagon silver bomber broke its ej22 block on my drive home with it (bought it with rod knock for 200bucks) and proceeded to drive it home. Sold it with a good ej22 not installed for 700. anyhow mick, what are you up to these days. what did you trailer home.

March 4, 201016 yr Sorry, but that's the kinda thing that gets my blood boiling. I can't believe people are so ignorant so as to let that happen to an engine that probably could outlast their next 3 cars. Twitch
March 4, 201016 yr That's what happened to the original engine from my lifted wagon. 165k - oil pump went bad and the lack of good oil pressure resulted in the #3 rod comming out of the top of the block. GD
