i had one of those 'oil leaks' before. they could be a pain in the ass.

 

[TheBryGuy]

What happened?

 

[ddogg777]

JB weld...you don't want to lose your oil, your engine might go boom.

 

[BradC]

Making soup with those "leek"s?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

How much boost were you running?

 

[ChopstickHero]

damn, big hole... lol

what were the conditions when you blew it?

 

[mazda2002]

I was running 6psi of boost, it wasen't lean or anything when it went, but it's been running leen for a while.

I blame my vortech fmu and my voltage clamp that works 1/2 the time.

(I have a wideband, so I gnow it was going way too lean, like passed 17:1 a/f)

more pics coming soon

I got a new engin with only 5000km on it to replace mine, and I'm getting an aem ems as soon as I have enought $$$ saved up. (was gonna be this week, but...)

It blew at the track, I did 1 run (1/4mile) and then it made a weird noise, like if there were rocks in my engin. Then boom.

Ouch man. I've got the same setup (vortech FMU and FM clamp) and you can boost up to like 10 psi. Must have been something really wrong... Go forged dude.

 

[Jeph]

Ouch, probably shouldn't have been running at the track if your voltage clamp wasn't working properly. 17:1 AF ratios under boost is definitely not good. I hope you rebuild it, go forged, and prove that our little sedans can be smoking fast...

Busted upper pan, alluminium and steel powder everywere:

2 big holes in my oil pan:

2 holes in the block

New engin:

something is missing here:

 

[Rac3rX]

Nevermind

 

[igdrasil]

impossible...those engines are rock solid.

I would be very careful trying to get to 10 psi with a Vortech FMU (I did it mind you but with a wideband and a Safeguard). . .then I realized that I had pushed my luck enough and got something better. Just be careful so that you don't have to post similar pictures.

I had a similar leak. But with about 4 more points of leakage.
