Cylinder #2 Piston MISSING !!!
 

All -

After 196,000 miles, with the last 60,000 miles on meth and boost (starting at 11 psi, then moving up to 13 psi about 6 months ago) - I finally had some engine 'trouble' - I lost the #2 piston and wrapped the (forged) con rod around the crank.

(I thought everyone would enjoy a couple views of the carnage.)

UPDATE: See post #26 for pic of my 'slightly bent' connecting rod.

sweet carnage :judge:

i knew meth messed up the human body, but LT1s... damn!

196k...??? you put dope on a 130k motor and it lasted that long???

Definitely impressive!

Totally rad man

good lord talk about carnage.

Cool! :usa:

nice!!! thats a good one lol

From the title I thought this was going to be another misfire/opti thread... Wow, nice!

Good stuff!

So, what was it doing when it happened (WOT/idle/cold start/etc)?

Guessing rod bent first and then crank swung around and pow3d the piston.

Bahahahah

Nice!

that should buff out

Dammmmnnnnnn #2 Piston got owned.

and "they" say boosted engines only last 40K miles lol which meth kit were you using?

UPDATE:

Explosion = Steady State 55 MPH; I was not 'beating on it' on that particular day, but that does not mean that I've haven't in the past.

Meth = Snow system; One gallon -20 WW fluid + 2 quarts of 91 Percent Rubbing Alcohol

(Time for more cubes!)

I'll bet you can find the piston in the center console.

Since the exhaust valve is missing whats the chance you droppd that sucker causing the carnage?

Likely fits the cup holder better than a can of "beverage".
:lol:
