need expert opinion 1100 engine

[gsryder]

Okay split the cases on my blown-up 1100 tonight. Looking for some expert opinions on if they are usable or paper weights.

Valley directly behind cylinder 1


Top half of the case viewing cylinder one from underneath


Tranny looks good in general nothing broke spins freely but you can see a little damage on the one gear....any thoughts


Just for fun here is some of what was in the bottom


I have other pics if these are not sufficient I think you get the main idea though.

Any input would be appreciated........dont worry you are not going to hurt my feelings.

What happened?

He bought it that way Bill. Ray.

Chef, it was an engine used in dwarf car racing. The guy told me it was bad when I bought it but he had not opened it up. Funny thing is he said it was running when he shut it off. That thing had to sound nasty. Now I am just looking to see what I can salvage / repair or scrap. once I get that all sorted I am going to start the rebuild for a turbo. I am going to pick up my turbo I got for free tomorrow morning.

Ray I will give you a call today. I am in Ohio so I will wait a few hours.

Thanks.

You need to check the main bearing webs on either side of that cylinder. It is quite common to have fractures or cracks after a violent blow up like this engine has seen. Those cases have been apart before judging from all of the excess case sealant. If you are going to build a turbo motor with expensive parts I would find some cases that have a little more integrity.
