Motor let go in the GS-T

[KPWSerpiente]

Number 4 piston kissed number 4 spark plug.

Had done one WOT pull 5 minutes before this happened. Was cruising when I heard some noise...shut it off and pulled over. This was the first plug we pulled and told me exactly why the car wouldn't start and why the motor would not turn by hand.

So I guess it is rebuild time. I have no money...so I'll either get a new job close to where I live so I can walk there and save...or tomorrow I'm a run by the financing options with my parents and how generous they are feeling.

I know a lot of you guys have had an engine let go or become damaged in some other catastrophic way....you can laugh a few times at me now.

*edit: I really need to get this picture of the plug hosted elsewhere.

The original theory is that the rod and crank are not friends anymore...but it is more likely that the massive visible damage to the top of the piston and to the plug were cause by big time detonation. Funny it let go while I was cruising.
