On a small ring was a chunk of metal. Apparently when he was test launching, the motor let go, blew a hole on the side of the block and proceeded to oil down everything under his car. He said‘I will never put turbo on a $40 engine ever again’. He complained he could still smell burning oil for months even after power washing the car twice. 😂😂

I’m thinking this motor will come apart, might have to see how the bottom-end is. Might have to save some money up to build it so it survives for awhile. Might have to upgrade to a forged crank at least.

I do appreciate the ideas everyone and thank you for posting those here. 👍🏼
