DD fiasco 5 w/pics
Okay so my_bd and I yanked the engine out of the car yesterday and we got to survey the damage up close.
The problem was clearly in cylinder 1 and something was seriously wrong to take out a rod.
I haven't looked inside yet with the boroscope but it sucks that for the money those cost that taking pictures isn't possible.
Anyways, you are all here just for the pictures so here they are.

The plan right now is to install the replacement JBP shipped out, which should be here Tuesday.
The way I see it if they get next one right then perhaps the race engine will be fine. If the next engine dies then we all know what that means.
One thing I know about all of this, my_bd and I are getting really efficient at re&re'ing these engines.

Yes 
The first one died from a broken crankshaft pulley.
Then that engine was rebuilt but damaged in shipping.
Then it was returned and had the oil filter housing removed and rebuilt again.
Now it is the one with the tiny hole in the side
Time will tell whether or not #3 turns out any better.

By the way, for the next few weeks JBP is going to take a break from my project car because one small mistake on that car will be a death knell for them.

WOW rod...I seriously can't believe the luck that you have. We have both said it a million times, if you weren't to have bad luck, you would have no luck at all lol. BUT bad luck can only run for so long, lets just hope its not 7 years worth lol. I am sure the 3rd time will be the charm. I wish you the best of luck with all of your projects man.
You really are an inspiration to the forums and we are all glad you are sticking with these projects. Keep your head up, things HAVE to start going your way sooner or later buddy
