Looks like part of a piston land sitting behind the right valve.

Thats what I was thinking. You would think if it was a piece of rod, it would have to get past the piston. If it did that its a lot worse than just the rod lol. Im thinking broken ring lands.

Hopefully we will see Tomorrow!!!!

Hopefully, the only damage done was to the piston lands, and not to the cylinder walls or anything else.

If it was a rod. Chances are, it would be out of the side of the block. Be real easy to see then.

Years ago. I worked on a ferd 300ci straight 6. The guy said it was down on power, but had no strange noises in it. When I removed the head. I had two pistons at top dead center.

Turned the crank over by hand, and watched all of the pistons move, but #6. Removed the oil pan and everything looked good.

Unbolted the rod cap from #6 and pushed the piston and rod up. What happen was the piston broke in two at the oil ring land.

No damage to the cylinder wall. Got another piston and new rings and install it.

Hopefully your motor could be like this.

It's funny you say that because there is a hole in the side of the block... Will take some pics tomorrow to see who guessed right... 20% goes to the house!!

Any oil around the hole? 'cause this doesn't sound good.

BGTV8 · 02-10-2014, 10:39 PM

Ah, it is actually an electrical problem - engine won;t start right ??

Rod came out the side of the block and knocked the wire off the starter solenoid, so is actually an electrical problem !!!

D'oh .........

COSMO · 02-11-2014, 09:22 AM

Well it doesn't look like I am going to be able to pull the motor today due to the weather. Yes the cars Always stays in the garage but I will have to roll it out a little to get the motor out with the tranny attached.

The suspense continues.... lol.
