Blow your engine? IF SO, COME ON IN!

[Kooldino]

Trying to see if there's a "typical" cylinder to blow on our cars. Cylinder 1 is closest to the belts, cylinder 4 is closest to the intake.

I blew up all 4 cyl simultaneously :bs:

iirc... most people blow the cylinder that is farthest away from the fuel flow on the fuel rail... therefore #1. if it blows for some reason other than fuel flow then its just a random crap shoot as to which one will blow...

Well...im not sure if the piston is damaged yet, but I lost compression in piston #2. 90psi vs 165psi.
Caused by: Overboost/Lean

I blew s*** up in #3 cylinder. My block was nearly completly cut in half by the con rod that snaped. Don't worry guys this was my first motor not the current one I have in right now. The one I have in right now have crapped out pistion rings in #1 and #4 cylinders.... go figure

Well, my 1st motor it was cylinder #4.
In my 2nd motor, it was #2.

 

[Kooldino]

Geez, that sucks you guys. Well, keep in mind, you can check multiple boxes if you blew more than one...

Are you trying to determine the leanest cylinder?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

you guys are talking about first and second times doing this - s*** man, i'd rather not have done it at all $2000 later....at least I wasnt ***** by the dealer to do it for $5000

 

[Ljspeed]

cylinder 4 and many factors led to it. from a seized oil pump to a leaky head gasket. plus i didnt have an upgraded fuel pump at the time. i was asking fo death I lost rod clearance and the piston cracked

 

[KzA]

interesting..

seems evenly distributed...

 

[Kooldino]

Are you trying to determine the leanest cylinder?

Well, I'm trying to determine...

-If there is a cylinder in our engines that tends to be the weakest (a lot of engines have a "weakest" cylinder...ie, one that's more likely to go first). Whether or not the weakest cylinder is weak due to being too lean or not is debateable, but there's certainly a good chance of the weakest cylinder being the leanest.

-If there is a cylinder that is really "safe", etc.



But like KzA said, it looks pretty evenly distibuted thus far.

It's BUMP time.
