this, along with the other half, and a lot of metal, and the rod was bent over into the side of the cylinder,

 

yup, id say the 2.8 is trash

 

yep, and theres another one sitting in there now, not fully hooked up yet

 

REMINDS ME WHEN I BLEW MY 350 BOTH FRONT RODS WENT DESTROYED THE OIL PAN CRACKED THE BLOCK IT TOOK ABOUT A 5 INCH PICE OUT OF THE SIDE AND DESTROYED ALL THE OTHER CYLYNDERS. WHEN IT BLEW IT ALSO COUGHT FIRE.

 

holy crap thats insane!!

any pics?

 

i have some pics that i printed up a year ago i lost the pictures on the computer. I can take a picture of one of my new paperweights "the piston"

KED85 do you still have the pictures i sent you of my engine? If you do can you email them to me.

 

Try having a 350 spit two con rods out the SIDE of the block? One on either side, such a tragedy.....

 

damnedest thing I ever saw was an inline Chevy 6 that blew a rod threw the block but the rest of the motor still ran fine. Just had a slight miss and it leaked oil.

We were all actually looking at the motor when it threw it out in the school parking lot.

Like well, its still runs, just needs a patch to keep the oil in.

 

"JB weld will patch that right up..."- Red Green

 

Were useing up these V6 blocks fast.
There won't be any left for my kids

 

the funny thing is that on the package it says you can use thatstuff to repair engine blocks. holly hell i would not want to try that, stuff cant even hold my dishwasher's silverware tray together.

 

Did ya let it dry well??? JB weld needs 3 days before it come in contact with any liquid. It works great for gas leaks if you got 3 days to wait. Other wise it turn into rubber if not fully cured.
