I found this hole and part of the rod on the ground after the 4.3 in my S10 decide to go. Looks like its time for a small block.

Yea i know it was about to go it was just a matter of when. Good thing it happened in the back yard.

New block hell.......just slap a little silicone over that hole and call it good!

 

[bronc3buster842001]

I dont think the block is hurt. The oil pan is the only place i seen a hole.

I had a 4.3 in an 86 K-10 back when I was in high school. I thought that it'd be ok since I had an uncle with a full size Bronco with a 6 cylinder in it. Boy was I wrong. That truck couldn't even out perform a baby in a stroller. I blew the motor up one night coming home from a party at 3am somewhere between Silver Springs and Dayton Nv. I had the motor rebuilt, but if I had just been on my toes, I would have thrown a 350 in the engine bay and called it good.

Well since most of that rod isn't in there anymore, where's it's piston

 

[bronc3buster842001]

Ya know thats a good question. I was wonderin where the piston was myself.

 

[MetalGrand]

I gotta say... ouch.

 

[cybrfire]

That's awesome carnage!

 

[USSkoval]

I'm sorry, but that's some funny carnage
If it were mine, I'd patch the hole, fill it with oil, and see if it still runs

 

[bronc3buster842001]

I did start it. it ran like s@@# considerin that was #1 rod.

Reminds me of a time long ago when my friend and I were in the Fla. keys,,his dodge van slung a rod thru the block of his slant 6 and knocked the starter loose....It was our only transportation...

We pulled the starter,,,and thru the hole in the block,,,drove a wooden dowel into the oil hole in the crank pin,,,took a coat hanger and wired up the piece of rod still hanging on the piston,,,used cardboard and ducttape over the hole in the block,,, filled it with oil,,, push started it and drove back to Miami...

had to stop every 10 miles and pour in a quart of oil but we made it on 5 cylinders !!
