Good luck Brian that sux too hear. I hope it's not too bad. Rods & pistons in th hopper a?
So far ive not heard good results
Ouch. Not good at all. IMO, blew the DS headgasket, bent rods, #4 probably has a hole in the piston.
Really sorry to see it, Brian....you didnt deserve that.

Lol thats the exact opposite of what mine looked like.
Well brian, time to send that block to the machine shop, lemme know when your ready for help

Well I knew it would happen sooner or later, just not this soon haha. By the way done do a compression test with another car in the garage... My walls and the side of the Prius had coolant on them :rofl:
They dont but if it bent bad enough, the crank will hit the piston bad and break the skirt. If it did it right, i may have cracked the ring lands or piston.
Really its all speculation till its torn dow. I really dont know where the cause it. They did find a peice of steel that "may" have come off the tip of a glow plug and it looks alot like headgasket steel.
I think im the only one to find pieces of my headgasket without having to remove the head :rofl:
:rofl:
I was just long-distance speculating based on the comp results. Sorry.
IMO, he's got multiple issues going on....but nobody will really know for sure til the engine gets taken apart.
Brian, make sure to check protrusion on tear-down.
I really don't know. I bought the truck at auction knowing what I was getting into and I've seen signs that this isn't the original engine but can't go any further than that. For all I know it could have 250k on it.

Will do Tom, was busy reading your rebuild thread earlier.
Not to derail but what is considered Low, normal and great compression Psi? Looks like 330 was good but low 200s is bad.

I had my truck for a day before it when boom and I was not trying. It sucks when it happens.:hug:

IMO, LB7s are usually 360-380+, but its more important that all the cylinders are close in psi to each other. Anything in the 200s is not good.Not to derail but what is considered Low, normal and great compression Psi?
Brian, the more I think about it, were the injectors replaced on that motor any time in the recent past? If so, your theory on popped cups could come into play. That could explain the blow-by, lower comp and coolant. I dunno..just guessing here. Popped cups would be cheaper to deal with, thats for sure.
Yes I think they replaced injectors once before because there is two different colors of rtv on the valve covers... Lol. Most shops don't pull the cups and resell anyways so that is a possibility.
