    NFB: Need a diagnosis.....

    Remember the Omni......my 103 mph trapping 4 door grandma mobile?. Driving it kinda hard today, big crash, a bang, and then a big cloud of smoke. I towed it back to the shop and I fished these parts out of my engine after seeing them in my oil pan through a big jagged hole in the block. The car does not run anymore and I cant figure out why. Any ideas?? Check out the pic.

    Did you check the spark plugs?










    Man that sucks, looks like you need a new power plant.

          Your performance stickers must have peeled off. Happened to me once. My muffler flew off and smashed into the car behind me.

          But seriously, that sucks. There's a black omni around here running mid 13s i believe.. nice FMIC and BOV .. everyone knows the guy and his car, he's almost famous

              Nice!

              You know, if you disconnected a couple of valves and spark plugs, it may still run.

              I have to find the piston that I burned a hole clean through the crown by high speed lean out. I distictly remember pulling about 7 car lengths on some poor unsuspecting V8 owner only for the car to turn itself into a crop duster. It starting blowing so much smoke out the tailpipe it looked like a a jet car staging at the drags.

                Ive never had an engine blow like this one....it was incredible. Glad it was the Omni and not the bird....(knock on wood).

                  Not for long with the oil pump broken off at the block.....

                    Now, now, ever heard of a drip oiler. No need for an oil pump.
