worst motor YOU have ever pulled

[Eagle_Adam]

saw a pic on one of the 710 threads showing a NASTY ass motor that he pulled with a blown HG...

 

 

So it got me thinking.....

 

 

 

Post pics of the worst looking motor you ever pulled and maybe some description to boot

 

 

 

Heres mine:

 

 

i pulled this motor out of a scrap pile to use the front timing cover....

 

And this was the old motor in my GF's goon

 

 

and this came off it while pulling it 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so what have YOU pulled? 

[q-tip]

I had similar brownie batter type goo come out of the front end of a scout....yummy

[Eagle_Adam]

[INDY510]

I've disassembled 5-6 L motors in junkyards and three or four of my own.  Worst in a yard were only grimy on the outside with that special soot/carbon mix inside.  I did have an L28 that simply would not give up its oil pan for any amount of leverage (even with a 4' long axleshaft for extra persuasion).  I don't know what kind of adhesive was on that thing.  I helped a kid down the street from me replace the timing chain on the motor in his 720 a couple years ago and it had the worst shrapnel I've seen inside one of these engines.

 

 

I can only imagine the sheer amount of metal shavings that had circulated through it.  Still running to this day as far as I know.

I got a good one, need to find the pic. But you can see eyeball looking at you from the other side of the block..THROUGH THE BLOCK!  Blew the motor on purpose trying to get it up a hill to its final destination to get the motor yanked. When they took the head off after removing motor the block i guess was in 2 pieces.  Got to find the pic, its badass to see.

ok so i havent pulled a motor....yet

 

but i got one thats definately post worthy.

 

I went to the junkyard to find a magnetic dist for my truck, i was looking for anything that could fit, i found the first willys jeep ever made, i stopped and stared at this heap of rusted metal then....meh what the hey i lift the hood and came close to taking its dist till i relized it was  a magneto not a dist as i was thinking of.

 

A magneto powered hardbody.....yikes.

I call it mud .... :rofl:

home grown 100% organic engines, the important question is; does it run?

[DRIVEN]

If that was an A series it'd probably run with fresh gas.

The engine that was originally in the lizard mobile

 

 

 

I have a L18 with a big ass hole in it but it is buried ( not INDY buried ) but buried non the less.

Worst motor I ever pulled was a 225 slant from a 73 scamp. Had a nasty rod knock. When I pulled the valve cover it had a PERFECT mold of the inside of the cover in oil sludge and a case of Pennzoil in the trunk. That sucked. I still miss that car.

I actually pulled exactly the same set of broken chain guide rails out of my L16. Replaced them and it's still running, over a year now since that ^

Here's one for ya.

This was about 2 years ago. I bought a 620 without an engine on CL. Found an L-16 about 100 miles away. Guy said it was out of a 510 and of course"it was running when I pulled it" Right.... It had been sitting an a barn floor for 10 years,so the Transmission had a hole in it,the alternator was partially gone. Something in the dirt was dissolving the aluminum.  The oil pan had a little hole. And of course it was stuck. 

Took it apart to find this. The first 2 cylinders had this sand-like stuff in it and part of  exhaust valve was laying there. The first cylinder was stuck really good,but I finally got it loose.

As you can see in the 2nd pic you can see the eye looking right through the block LOL.  Was awsome i did this to it HAHAHA, pictures are from josh since its from his car. 

[king bee66]

this block has been sitting like this for a year now,  still turns and has nice smooth cylinders

 

[elmerfudpucker]

OK, How about this? #4 piston on the original motor from the KC.

 

 

The head gasket:

 

 

An this be the rebuilt bottom that will become the bottom of my LZ!
