Rob just called me. Engine let go this morning in Stockton, on the way to the autocross. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sounds like a piston skirt broke off and trapped itself between the crank and case, and then blew its way out. Now he's got to wait for a tow truck. Ooooooh man. Poor Rob. I'm sure he'll have some pictures (with garbage cans) when he get's it back to his place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |
