Grenaded 454 Ever wonder what happens when a piston goes through the piston wall and into the water jacket? Well wonder no more, take a look at the pictures. This is what happenned to our new 454 with 500 miles on it on our first run ever with the blazer. It was a real shame to see such a great motor gone so fast but hopefully our replacement one will be just as good or better. click on the pics to see them fullsized |
You may have to really know what you are looking at to figure out that there shouldn't be a hole in the side of the piston wall. The white goo you see is the oil. The piston was removed from the bottom (or what was left of it). |
