so i bought this car from chris (projectaccord)

from what i gathered, there was an electrical problem with the car because it would turn over but wouldnt spark

so i sorted everything out, and it was ready to start

when i was putting in new oil i noticed a slight bump from the inside on the oil pan.. i didnt pay it no mind

when i cranked the motor it turned once and stoped.... WTF

i get under the car, turn the crank by hand.... sure enough there is resistance

i turn the crank backwards as much as a can

then spark it again, and hear a loud crunch lol

turns out the rod on cylinder #2 was broken and when the motor cranked it kinda ripped everything up

Im not pissed, because i think that chris didnt know what was wrong with the car

and if him or the guy he bought it from knew, fuck you guys :tongue:

Damn those cylinder walls look like they have not seen some lovin from any piston rings in a long time! Hows the bottom of the block look; torn to bits? Oh and those are some damn big pictures = good resolution = I can even see a baby cockroach in the coolant.
