that'll have been a bit of hydraulic lock then lol

[lewis_willy2]

not good for you but im doing an assignment on a failed conrod at college and that pic is quality.

can someone explain hydraulic lock?

[Justin..]

basically, its when water is sucked in to the cylinder, piston comes up for the compression & ignition, piston hits water, compresses it as much possible the breaks whatever breaks first, usualy being the con rod

in simple terms :lol: thats how i veiw it anyway

[richy]

thats one nasty looking conrod!

[jay s]

done a good job of ****ing that :D

[cliolord]

holy crap dude, nice rod :lol: you should frame that boy, what RPM was the engine at when it locked?

[stan]

fluids cant be compreseed, so it physically stops the piston dead before TDC....the crank is still rotating=bent rod

[Dancliovalver]

well if your gonna **** it, least uve ****ed it properly :lol:

looks pretty bad dude, do alot of damage to the rest of the bottom end??

[cliokiz]

Did you drive through a flood or something?
