Q:
too much boooost
Turbo engines can create some of the coolest carnage
A:
Nope, it was N/A.
A little MK1 Escort Pinto Motor, that was pushing well over 160hp. Then the distrubutor came loose and wound on a whole lot of advance, then one of the carbs went lean.
Melted a hole the covered about half the No. 3 piston top, there was slag hanging off the top of the piston and covering the gudgen pin, which is what finnaly stopped the motor.
But thats what happens when you buy someone elses race motor and take thier word for it that they built it right. Im just glad it wasn't mine, although it makes one hell of an introduction to motorsport crew work.
