Fund Raiser AB blew his engine

Gave what i could best of luck AB great mob here to get you going again.

Thanks guys, feeling the love!!!

So far it looks like I've hydro locked the engine from a brand new turbo failure but I need to confirm this.

Sump is off and the crank looks perfect, in fact my whole engine looks perfect apart from a catastrophic number 2 piston conrod bent/smashed and has destroyed my block and god knows what else on the top.

I'll pull it apart to confirm the above and take the next step but again, such a huge shame on a beautiful engine.

I searched for 6 months to find this purely for the condition the engine and drivetrain was. Devo!

Is it possible to get some compensation from the turbo supplier?

Hard road unfortunately mate, I need this engine out and 100% confirm crank is fine first and then prove the oil contamination locked it up.

I wouldn't reuse the crank anyway, a local bloke up here hydro'd his motor (cyl 1) rebuilt and turbo'd, then snapped the crank at #1

At the very least it needs to be crack tested, dont just do a visual

Hey mate, yeah I wasn't intending on using it again, just to see if crank is fine then the issue was #2 alone.

More so what and how this happened.

Cyl 5 is the next to hit tdc.. generally speaking hydro lock usually only effects 1 cylinder.

All good mate. It'll turn up one day..
Somewhere.
Maybe..

@MudRunnerTD done son! Shout out if there's more required toward the end of the fund raising, will do what I can. Chin up AB!

@MudRunnerTD

Done what I can, Still getting over what we helped Roofy out with, then didn't get to travel with him LOL

Serious though I have been fortunate with our recent insurance claims, so a bit of paying it forward, back, up, sideways whatever is good karma.

Good luck with it all AB and now I'm no longer gainfully employed I might sneak south for the party and try one of your pizza's if that's OK?
