Honda owners....don't look....56K beware(pic intensive)

[Neutrino]

Ok i was browsing the neco forum and i run over this thread

this is a warning for honda owners and mecanics: the folowing pictures of can be very disturbing

Check this beauty out. Apparently the guy was showing off for a friend, and was at about 7k RPM in 5th when he decided to downshift to 4th (why, neither his friend nor I could tell you). However, instead of hitting 4th and merely ramming into the rev limiter, the close ratio gearbox causes him to slam it into SECOND. His friend mentioned that he "had never seen a tach swing that far past the redline", and estimated it to be somewhere in excess of 13,000 RPM before they heard a loud explosion and smoke came pouring out of the hood. Below is a link to the pictures and a few examples. By the way, the small metallic potatos were once pistons

and the pistons


look a valve

that sux bad! ! my uncle did something like that to my moms stanza when i was little. instead of goin to second he went to sixth. (there's no sixth on stanzas)

Just to tell you, each one of those metal blobs isn't a piston - they're all pieces of a single piston. The top left shard in the guys hand was at one time the top half of a piston - you can make out where the piston pin used to go on the bottom fractured/chewed edge!

Some thing never change, horse throw shoes - cars throw rods...

holy shit, now thats what i called a windowed block. the whole thing got freakin destroyed.

sigh...another nice car ruined by a guy who didn't deserve it...

It's an honest mistake. Quite a few engines are ruined by shifting into 2nd instead of 4th (ask this question in the SR20 community). I'm sorry for the guy, and sorry for the car.
