Another blown motor
 

Just found this blown motor. Owner states it was used, fine since he got it, oil changed right away, uprev tune only. This isn't the first blown sludge motor. Thought sludge was a thing of the past?! This thing looks horrible.

IBTL

LMAO. :rofl2:

NICE! Wonder woot type o grate oil that was in there:confused: Maybe Valvoline sand or Wal*MarX Supa Tek! Better yet, I bet it was sum Jiffy Lube recycled cheep oil that wasn't changed in the last X years! :inoutroflpuke:

I remember seeing this on FB yesterday I think? The owner stated that "It just let go". I wonder what was the maintenance routine for that car?

You have to wonder? I wasn't good that is for sure.

Yes, I'm wondering how much abuse the engine went through before it gave up on life. :icon14:

Looks like old Quaker State dino old that had oil changes of 20,000 miles. :rofl2:

Could have been an oil consumption issue that wasn't found during ownership? I am on my third motor from that, this one though has had zero consumption for 40k miles. Was going through 2q every 1.5k miles. I had no oil on the stick when I first caught it and it was at 3k miles from the first oil change I did, no oil light ever came on....

You mean, 3,000 miles. That's how bad the old quaker state was.

Damn that makes me wanna change my 7k miles royal purple.

Lack of oil changes period.

old oil and heat. older but good article:

Engine Sludge Origins

Was the oil ever changed at all? :confused:

The motor/oil was probably exposed to outside harsh elements and rotted for a long time before you found it.

Meh thats not sludge. Yeah cant say it was sludged up until you pull the valve cover and it looks like you just removed the top of a mold.had a buddy who opened up a 73 351w and there were little pockets in the sludge were the pushrods and rockers moved

Old VW air cooled motors and Quaker state oil was not a good combinition. :eek: The motors would slude the oil in about 3,000 miles. Pull the valve pan covers off, and you couldn't see any of the valve train. :eek: :icon14: :rofl2: Rebuilt a few of these back in the day. :shakes head:

:iagree:

Looks like this ones got it beat.

You have to be a moron not to change the oil after so many miles.:shakes head:

^^^^^ I have seen that before in a Honda Accord. Aftermarket warranty did not pay for the new engine.
