engine blown again (now with pics)
Just put in a 'new' engine (49 k mile on it), drove about 1500 miles and today on the highway the damn ****** blew again @ 0.9 bar = 13 psi. It still runs, but only on three cylinders, and blows smoke like a ****. It's not leaking any coolant, so i guess i fried some rings.
Prolly the end of engine # 3
(at this rate my car consumes only 6 engines a year 
)
Pieter (who is going to turn down the boost a bit on the next engine)
