How to destroy a good B20 Engine

[Devs]

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.

Apparently it made a few banging noises and smoked alot, then kinda just stopped working! Odd eh! Engine currently sitting in my garage, haven't quite got round to openeing it up yet!

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!)
