My GT's engine is properly broken...

After 2.5 rounds at a race track the con rod gave in...

Found I had 3 pistons on top at the same time.. not a good sign in a 4 syl engine..

Pieces of Piston on top of the valve.. hehe..





New Airvent:



Old engine's out..



I'll dissect that engine tomorrow, and take more pics..
Fortunately it was the cheapest part of the car that broke... The engine.

More pics tomorrow

Got the replacement engine for free, only costing me some gaskets and some spare time :P
