Ok today I was coming home from work I was messing with a newer cobra not a 03 but it was fast. I was spraying him and i was barely leaving him, so i guess i got a lil stupid to win. Well I notice my Air fuel gauge go lean , but i was stupid and didnt think about it at the time and was on the bottle for atleast 25 or more seconds well after i pulled a full 2 cars the motor started to sound like **** so i let off pulled over to the shoulder and turned her off and poped the hood, everything looked ok. I drove her the rest of the way home just limping her in through each gear not going over 3 k. I pull into my driveway and she is missing and all kinds of **** she shut herself off and i am very afraid. Well i take the 2 plugs out closest to the front of the car and they are covered with oil and smashed. So i got a neighbor to help me push her into the garage and i havent had the guts to look at the car since i know its my fault this **** happened. I have looked at the goodside, I do have a 6.0L short block that i got while i was drunk and was thinking i could make a hella stroker, but still that takes money that i cannot afford to spend anymore, so my guess is the car will be in the garage for atleast a few months at the most can anyone give me some ideas of what might of happened? btw the oil light was on the whole way home.

 

do a compression check. if those cylinders are very low, more then likely you melted some pistons or the heads. eather way the heads got to come off so might as well start on it. if your lucky, the block will still be ok and can be reused.

 

The engine is now junk, you should give the car to me. Good luck, I hope it's nothing more than melted spark plugs.

 

how do you run nitrous for 25 or more seconds? youd be doing 200 mph.

Id say pull the rest of the plugs, put new ones in it if they are all melted...start er up..

 

The fact that he said the plugs were oily is pretty much going to signal that the motor is in fact damaged. I'll put $5 bucks down on it having holes in the pistons, and damaged ringlands. Sucks man, but blowing up **** only means you can upgrade to bigger and better things. I spun a bearing on my stock short block, now I'm going with a scary high compression nitrous motor.

Maximum time for continuous nitrous use is 15 seconds. Let this be a cautionary tale for all the new nitrous noobs.

 

Easiest case, you blew the grounding strap off a few plugs and one or more were lucky enough to go through the piston, and or a valve! Yeah. Unlucky, the straps found there way into the side of the piston and ran up and down the cylinder, before exiting through a closed valve r taking out the ringlands. Good luck.

 

well i think ima put the nitrous on a rpm pill activation later on, so maybe itll be a lil safer. But yeah i was so stupid and had to make this fast cobra look slow.
