i m trying to figure out what was causing that cylinder #3 to blow up.
like i did compression test earlier, #3 was low and i knew that caused engine oil sitting top of piston and blow blue smoke(randomly) thru tailpipe.
but i m thinking either..
- fuel pump gave up at 6300rpm and overheated cyl#3 and cooked engine oil top of piston #3 and blew block off
or
- water pump went out and caused engine block to overheat and cooked engine oil top of piston #3 and blew block off
as far as i can see, when piston blew, connecting rod snapped and hit oil separator...
engine is cheap these days, $400 for used engine but it is better for me to get new engine for $1000 if the seller on kijiji still has it by january.
i will just put my car away for winter and work on body parts and possibly paint engine bay..white is very hard to paint compare to dark color because of cleacoat is oil based and can put piss(yellowish) on white basecoat.
