I blew a rod through the side of my oil pan, and radiator fluid was coming out of the hole too.

does that mean i destroyed my block?

it wasnt the whole rod, just the bottom part >.<

 

Yep.

 

good job. I've always wanted to do that.

 

*hits head against desk untill a rod pops out*

 

well, if it was a hole in the block making the leak for the radiator fluid to come out, then wouldnt all the fluid above that point be gone? I still have radiator fluid in my little resiviour thing and the amount of fluid that was coming out wasnt that much. I'm that i was too sloppy with the whole rebuid of the top end of my engine that it let a bunch of radiator fluid mix into my oil. Not too sure though, I just hope to *** that I dont have to replace the block.

there you go, thats the hole :\

 

well im partially lucky, this guy who I knew at autozone, I got him a job working at a machine shop doing cnc work, So since I got him that job and I just talked to him, he says he has a set of rods and pistons laying around because he has all forged stuff, so hes going to come out this weekend and help me pull my engine and see what kind of damage I did. So hopefully all I might have to replace is the crank and oil pan.

 

Figure on a new engine. There isn't any room in the crankcase for loose things to be flying around without damaging something.

 

i know youre right, but im trying to be optimistic here!

man you should have seen the trail of oil I left through my neighboor hood while pushing this thing back, its really bad because if you follow it, it goes straight underneath my car in front of my house. The trail spans about a block and a half.

I feel really bad for my neighbors but cleaning that up would be insanely hard

 

At the least, buy a big bag of kitty litter and soak up that oil for a while, then pick up the kitty litter.
