420A Buildup... Mopar Powa~!
« on: March 17, 2006, 12:28:09 am »
Ya, I'm probably going to be ridiculed and made fun of for posting this, but whatever... as long as it entertains peeps.

Mopar Powa Failed~!  So I finally got picks of my block...  the one that failed because of a faulty Mopar Powder Rod...  

Anyhow, long story short, my car blew up on the dyno.  This happend like a few weeks ago... not related to my "How to breakin your car thread."  It blew up at 2500rpm, on 6psi of boost.  The Mopar Powder rods I was using had defects in them... namely microfractures, and it snapped in half cleanly...   result, carnage inside.  Oh and ya, whoever said those rods would break were right... oh well... what can you do.

I have a block for you

I feel for your loss. Don't want to sound like a vulture but I have a spare 420a block at home that you can have for $50 as it doesn't look like yours is rebuildable.  I'll even give you the stock rods and pistons they're great to throw at people that say just get a TSI.
