How to destroy a good B20 Engine

2 Easy Steps to blow your engine

1/ Allow the oil to run dry
2/ Drive it along the motorway at 70mph

Oddly enough, after this punishment, the con-rod managed to remove itself from within the engine and take a chunk of the casing with it! Please be advised, I purchased the car after this had happened!

Bloody hell!

Was everyone okay?

In best internet OMGzORz fashion, have a picture of a cat with cheese on its face.

Recon crankcase?

The other way s to toast the engine with no water in it. My brother did this (water pump pully broke) and teh engine seized. We managed to fee it off and it ran for a while after but it was a little loud. When I stripped it down ALL of teh shells were in the sump pan!!

Or thrash it up the M1 in third gear ( daft apath mate did in the `70`s because he was too stoned to realise!)
