Broken crank

[DougsfastZ]

My buddies car (slamming 6) start developing a header leak type sound, so after pulling the oil pan, he finds a broken crank.

Yep, she's broke

I guess 3+ years of 26 psi will do that to a stock crank. The rest of the stock long block looked great.

This may sound morbid but thats cool looking. I mean just think, a V6 broke that sucker

Anyways, thank God he spotted it before it caused anymore damage.

There is nothing funny about that Turbo Buicks,I laugh at it because I own that mess, I would hate for that to happen to someone who was down on there funds.Never the less at least now I can make it slower now:wink: .Take care,AL.

How much milage? Did you detonate the motor or what happened there? That is some nasty carnage!

dont worry i did something worse, i actually took my old motor apart to rebuild it and it was running fine and i found didnt have the money to rebuild it the way i wanted to, haha. oh well, its almost done now after 2+ yrs.
