This is so shit words can express how guttered I am.

No coolant, just oil, the previous turbo has ruined my engine!!!!

This new turbo is fine not leaking.

One very unhappy sad panda!!!

Just aswell it happened near home and not half way up to Fraser. You would be gutted none the less but it would be devastating for little Mia.

Engine needs to come out regardless mate and then I can take out the crank and inspect properly.

But yes, it hasn't been driven since dumping a litre of oil into the engine.

Such a perfect low km td42 silver top gone is just heart breaking!!!

Yeah its pretty sad. Looking inside it apart from the gigantic holes in the thing it looks perfect, can even see the cross hatches in the bores still, looks like it's straight from the factory.

So in all seriousness..
If internals look fine is there anything salvageable?
Of is the risk of bent crank to high?

Andy.. devastating news. What can be said. :frown:

If you need anything, I'm only down the road mate.

When are we starting the charity drive for this guy to get an LS3 or another TD in there? :bananarock:

Don't stress bro, as discussed and everybody's best wishes, she'll be alright in the end mate !
Back next weekend to help hoist it out, think on the bright side of all the new trinkets you've got now to hang up in the church. Reckon the block is going to make a ripper talking point set up in the corner for decades to come too ;-)

Could make a glass top coffee table out of the block but it would only last until some drunken bum trips over and smashes it while dancing with a bread-maker.

I can't find the other thread about your engine problems so I'll put my thoughts here, it's been said it was possibly a hydraulic lock but I don't think so because it either
A: would have been locked up and wouldn't start or
B: locked up straight after starting, not 20 minutes down the road. The other thought I had is in the old days before intercoolers & Computerised truck engines if the turbo shit itself it would pump oil through the engine and King rev to the point where you couldn't stop it apart from stalling the engine . I realise Andys engine is intercooled but I would've thought if enough oil passed through the intercooler to enter the combustion chamber it would burn rather than accumulate and hydraulic lock . I could be wrong on all accounts it was just a thought I had .

Hey mate, it is certainly possible and has happened before where a hydro lock doesn't necessarily lock up from the liquid when it enters, especially in small amounts like in my situation.

It is possible that the oil has entered the engine causing number two to restrict and cause the conrod to bend (Wouldn't know yourself this has happened). The vehicle was not driven afterwards until the very first hill causing stress and ultimately breaking the conrod.

All theory of course until I can get this engine out and assess the crank properly.

So far the crank looks fine and so far the damage looks only to be caused by number 2 piston and as you can see in the pics the tell tale signs of a severely bent conrod shows all signs of a lock.

We know for a fact a litre of oil went into the engine.

We know for a fact it was also being burnt as you mentioned above.

I have many bends in my IC piping and I also have a silicone 3" reducer to 40mm going directly into the OEM elbow to inlet manifold. When I first found out I lost oil you may remember pulling the piping off to find a substantial amount (couple of tea spoons) pooling in the reducer just before the intake which could feed significant amounts into the chamber(s).

Also, I can confirm when running my own tests that the old turbo's leak was getting worse after the engine was running for 30 minutes.

All theory at this stage but so far it is indeed very very plausible pending crank inspection of course.

FWIW it may have been an overpressure rather than a total lock IE sufficient oil in the chamber to raise the cylinder pressure enough to cause the initial damage... then, tick, tick tick, BOOM... just like a... nah... better not say it

@AB ;-) 250km on the knocker test run from base to Licola stop/tow. Turbo spoofed out 1,000ml of oil = 4ml per km / 6 pots = 0.'666'ml per pot per km.
Spooky stuff bro, wish we were allowed to attend RI as kids :-)
