Did you find any dirt in there?
Looks like something was in there.

 

[markallen]

No dirt.The glowplug was missing it's coil.Would that cause it?

I wouldn't have thought a glow plug coil could cause that much damage, that thing is trashed. How is the rest of the engine?

 

[markallen]

The sleeve is trash too.Everything else is fine..

I did that to a S25 mill. The coil from the glow plug was the cause.

Sorry for your loss.

let us pray.

LOL


Trying to cheer you up. is it working?

 

[AC48]

Doesn't O.S. have a good waranty? Tell him this just happend for no reason haha. Sorry about what happend, I guess when an engine is spinning 30K RPMs a little coil can do that.

[markallen]
