Pulled the oil pan to take a closer look at what went wrong. It looks like it was a failure of one of the Rod bolts. It looks like the bolt snaped then the Rod cap was rattling arround. There was all kinds of metal down in the pan from everything blowing apart. I did find small pieces of the Rod, but not anything larger than a quarter. I will post pics a little later today. __________________ Custom Cold Air Intake, Custom IAT controller, SuperSprint Exhaust, High Flow CAT, Long Tube Header, H&R 'Race' Lowering springs, Short Shifter, JB Racing Lightweight Flywheel, M3 Clutch Kit w/Rogue Semi-Metalic Disk, Zex Nitrous System, Euro Clear Corners, Elipsoid Headlights w/Halos, Eyebrows, Window Tinting, Invisible Bra | | | 03-28-2006, 03:53 AM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: boston Posts: 142 | are the m44 know for throwing rods? do you drive your car like your racing? __________________ HIOP TWINSCREW w/aftercooler water to air, 3.73 lsd,ported headdone,performence valve springs w/titanium retainersinstalled..nitrous kitinstalled fun fun X brace installed5th injector w/ piggyback controler, high flow cat | | | 03-28-2006, 03:57 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Littleton, CO Posts: 190 | I don't think there are any major mechanical issues with the M44, however - there is allway the one in the bunch that could. The engine had just over 140K. I do drive fairly hard, but not like I am racing. I think it was just it's time. __________________ Custom Cold Air Intake, Custom IAT controller, SuperSprint Exhaust, High Flow CAT, Long Tube Header, H&R 'Race' Lowering springs, Short Shifter, JB Racing Lightweight Flywheel, M3 Clutch Kit w/Rogue Semi-Metalic Disk, Zex Nitrous System, Euro Clear Corners, Elipsoid Headlights w/Halos, Eyebrows, Window Tinting, Invisible Bra | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
