Were you still running your 'custom' intake when it happened?

What's your mileage?

 

[Falconx84]

is this the first ms3 with a blown motor?

I've seen it countless times with the ms6, but not the ms3

 

[GhostMercury]

thats cause we're smarter lol. but this is prolly cause my the home made intake without the pcv

 

[Captain KRM P5]

[orng1]

[dgraf]

[bmman93]

na took that intake off long time ago. i was not running it hard yesterday at all. i was on my way home from work in no hurry b/c no was home and i herd those noices lol then the car died

after looking at the rod end something wasnt right with it. it was wore weird. to me it looks like the wrist pin slid out and go sheared off at the bottem of the block and the force from them took the chunk out of the block! it was a bad day lol

 

[bmman93]

the bearing is wore on side its pretty thin which was makin me think what i jsut posted!

miles were 81??

and i just put my rx8 rims on too i got the same day that i scored off ebay

 

[whooosh]

you guys are funny

first problem is you don't know where your "PCV" actually is on this engine

it's not on the back of your valve cover or has anything to do with the intake tube, CAI, SRI, turbo inlet or whatever you want to name it today

"smarter" lol

Pretty much (at least on the forums). I'd like the whole story though.

What's the mod history of the car besides the homemade intake?

 

[BOOSTR]

I hate seeing these types of threads! Good luck with the rebuild and warranty claim.

Rebuild? His motor is a boat anchor now. It has a hole in its side. They'll put in a crate engine.

 

[bmman93]

Yea Hoping For A Whole New One! They Are Being Cool About It Right Now!

The Milage Was 8100 And Change Thats Y I Put The ?? There I Wasnt Sure Full Amont

The Intake Was On For About A Day When It Didnt Work And Put It All Back Normal

Did Have Bcd And Mbc But Took That Off 3000 Miles Ago Could Get It Quite Under Control So I Said Freak It.

This is the risk you take when you modify your car and do not tune for your mods.
