Default Engine died today....

Now i know the reason for my low 1/4 mile times.
The rings on my number 2 piston were messed up.
Today when my bro started the car there was all black smoke at the exhaust and the car dies when you give gas.
Spark plug is all black and soked in oil.

Am going to tear it open tomorrow there will be pic's.
RIP ZC

That's weird, same thing with my ZC. The #2 went down to 100psi, although it could have something to do with the 8psi of boost

I blew mine at the track and was pulling consistent 13.8's at 103.

Before the turbo I was pulling 15.1's at 90. Sorry to hear it go. Now you have a reason to build it up

I ain't going to build it up.
If everything falls into place I'm getting a B-series and a new CRX

hmmm I took the head off today.
My head gasket was leaking between piston number 3 and 2.
And I can see that it leacked at most of the oil passages.
My intake mani also was pretty discolored at the runners going to piston number 2 and 3.
I hope it's just the gasket...going to buy a new one tomorrow and putting my other cleaned out head and intake mani with the 450cc injectors and begin putting on the turbo
