Well... I've been meaning to post this for a while, but I never got around to it...
RIP F22A6
Was driving home from slammed4thgens house blaring asking alexendria, when I suddenly noticed a complete loss of power. Turned the music down and heard ticking and flopping coming from the motor. All I could think at this point was "fuck Fuck FUCK! What's wrong with it now?" I pulled off the highway and popped the hood only to see a bunch of smoke and a torn timing belt... I was about in tears at this point. Called AAA (indispensable by the way, if you don't have AAA get it. It pays for itself in one tow.) and had her towed back to my appartment with the torn timing belt in my hands.
So I pretty much cry myself to sleep that night...
Next day I decide to pull the valve cover off to see what I can find.
Well. It wasn't pretty or what I thaught I would see.
Notice the burnt-ness of the cyl 1 valves? So I took the rockers off for more investigation.
So... no oil in the head at all... which caused major friction in the head, thus causing the cam to seize, and the timing belt to snap under pressure.
End result? Looks to me like the oil pump failed, but I was too zoned out to notice.
sorry to hear what happened.. glad u got ur head up and plan on swaping. car has come a long way.
Thanks man!
I have the F almost ready to pull. I think the only thing left to do is take the axles out.
The motor is on its way, I hope I get a good one from tigerjap. Hopefully the mounts should be here in a week or so... Rather than that, its all good to go!
