KKtrips Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I wonder if Jamie McCoy has anything? Although has Grinter shut that door?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 haha just tried to call him up but got the answer phone "hi, *womans voice* Jamie thinks he has a slave to answer the phone, but the slave is out at the moment, ....etc" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Is that jamie McCoy with a green single spinner/ford freak? Holy flip it be choice if you did! Yeah damage is really on isolated to the tailgate and door, even the glass within is sweet. Makes it that much dumber to get sorted for wag season which kicks off shortly...

NaN Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Dude that sucks, Mentioned your story and a mate told me this one: At a mechanics shop, a turbo civic (two door) started 'itself' with an apprentice inside, while in reverse on stands, dropped off the stands wide open throttle bounced off a 63 mustang and dodge (something*), bouncing a few times then slotted itself/wedged/rode up the side of the mustang/ in between them ripping the doors forward, before the young fella killed the motor, BIG moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Puta rota init? /lol Bit stink about the fuel in sump thing bro, are you just going to wip the moter straight out or see if you can get it to run again first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 mate, maaate. Whatta cunt. 351/429 would be sweet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 that must have been somewhat alarming. would have been a decent splosion to remove both rocker covers like that. shouldnt cause too much damage inside the engine though? i had a similar experience welding up a holed sump......... blew the oil filler cap miles away and bent the sides of the rocker covers out, otherwise was sweet. did bang my noggin on x member and floor trying to get away as i was under the car at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 running an engine with ouil thinned by fuel can damage bearings/etc as it thins the shit out of the oil? weird stz lee. hope you get it sorted soon xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Far out that's pretty impressive! I would have thought if you put some more rocker covers on it should still be sweet. Bad news if the oil has had petrol in it for a long time and you have been using it like that. EDIT: Beaten by CaMpy Was going to say put one of Als uz's but that would be so so wrong. Do not.

CaMpylobacter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 would def be wroth a go at chucking bits on and seiing what goes down. how much oil was it making? like, was it noticeable on teh stick that the oil level had been rising?

KKtrips Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I would be more worried about seals blowing out than actual component damage. Notably the rear main. However - like Cam - I would be more inclined to chuck some new rocker covers and gaskets on. Replace the fuel pump and oil. Then crank it up and see where any oil dribbles from (if any at all) It could be the rocker covers were the weakest link and all else is sweet..

Vintage Grumble Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yeh, seals might be ok, oil seals tighten more when pressure is applied (as long as they aint OS as/felt or someshit) so may have hung on. Also, if seals did let go in the blast, you would find oil splatters around them wouldnt you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
