I was driving in the shitty weather going 45 mph on a back road that is higher so I wasn't worried about flooding and it was 10:00 pm and down pouring. I slammed in to a huge puddle and car stalled out. I got it home and it sat over night. I go to start it and starts up ,but know it's got a loud knock. SO now it's time to do a rebuild the old engine. I will do some picture up as I go with updates.

Dang, that sucks. Oh well. Excuse to rebuild/upgrade. High comp. pistons...

Yea we will see what exactly I am goin% to do for internals

That sucks. There was a lot of flooding everywhere. If you wanted to do it on the cheap, you could do sr16 pistons and e-85. But I'm guessing your going to need rods, too.

Yea I am at the ripping it apart point and see what's all bad then I will decide what I am doing

Got the head off today and not too happy with what I see. The head looks fine and my spark plugs are not crushed so no valve to pistons hits which is nice but the first piston is cracked. I am also almost sure the rods are junk but I will know tomorrow when I take that out. I am hoping the block and crank are ok as well.

Ouch, not god.

Damn man, that sucks for sure.

Update 8/3/10 :So I bought a de motor from Yang and Am in the process of ripping it apart and buying parts and putting my ve head on. I am going to be running the sr16ve pistons with 1mm shave off so we will se what kind of difference it will make. Anyways for shits I was looking at my piston that was cracked and put a pry bar in the crack and the piston popped out.... The side skirts are completely gone and shattered the wrist pin and everything under it... Also the rod is bent to hell and gashed the side walls. I will put up a few pics as thing go on....

Sounds good.

Destroyed piston top
Bent rod
Destroyed piston Bottom and sides side skirts are gone

Today I just dropped my block,crank,pistons off at C&S Performance today to get some work done and hope to get it back soon. Also on Thursday ordered parts for Gspec so the ball is rolling. I will keep you updated.

Very cool!!

Can't wait to see it done!

Just got my head back from the shop (Automotive Engine Rebuilders) very nice guys a fair price IMO and I had the head clean, pressure checked,vacuum tested, resurfaced, removed shaft, touch-up low valves. I had 2 intake valves leaking from gunk build up. Luckily nothing got bent and it just need a good clean up. I am waiting on my stuff from Greg (gspec) and my block,crank, pistons from C&S performance.
