Engine failure

[Joshinator99]

A head gasket failure doesn’t always allow coolant to contaminate the oil. Depends where the gasket blows out.

Agreed, often times it’s the oil in the coolant since cylinder pressure is much higher than cooling system pressure.

Maybe do a compression test.

Your flag is hung wrong too. Stars on the left.

You’re also going to want to inspect the cylinder walls. Guessing as a guy who has built this kind of quality engine, you already know this, but just in case you don’t…..coolant intrusion into the combustion chamber can cause scoring of the cylinder walls.

I would hate to see you fix everything, button it all back up only to have blow by and misfires because the rings are now not sealing to the scored cylinder wall.

You learn something new every day.

The cylinder wall has some interesting patterns in it, appears to be lots of oil consumed in that cylinder. Trying to follow, you used a Gen 3 block and swapped the rotating assembly into that block?

It almost appears that the expander ring has decided to leave the confines of the piston.

Is that such a big deal with the flag is also acting as a door?

At 260 you probably warped both heads and they now cannot sit flat on the block.

Have both of them surfaced, new gaskets, throw it all back together.

You are telling me! I hope all is alright, i check on all of it Wednesday when i am back home again so far i drained the oil and it is chocky milk indeed.

I didn't see the flag but the stars always lead.

So i put a new gen 3 short block in the car, that was just the old motor sitting on a pallet in my garage right now.

Off topic but what splitter do you have?

Ouch, then there is a substantial quantity of coolant in the oil. I guess you won an extensive rebuild of the engine.
The thing is, don't you have a warranty on it? If the engine was correctly reworked in the first place this shouldn't have happened.

It's either their incompetence, you being extremely unlucky or you abuse your engines past what they are meant to endure because one catastrophic failure can happen, twice you are becoming a statistic....
Don't mean to bash on you but have at least a conversation with who worked on the car.

I actually made this one haha.
