There are more pictures, but these show enough of the damage.

 

Long story short, engine made funny noise, thought it was a bad chain, well it wasnt. And went driving around one day, lost power. KABOOM, seems to be the proper term for things of this magnitude. #2 piston had enough play in it to slighty tap the head, every so slighty, no damage.

 

Moral or story, never trust

A). The japense to take care of their motors

B). Any noise a motor makes it is not saposed to, even though it runs "fine"

c). ANYONE TO CHANGE THE OIL.....

D). Nissan

 

*also I have no clue how to make those links into pictures*

How many miles had you put on the sr20 when this happened?

 

You know you can get a long block + tranny for ~$1200, or less.

 

.....so the same thing can happen again? A used motor is just that. A used motor. You run a risk using it. Im sure it will cost brandon less than 1200 for a piston and a rebuild. He will also have a piece of mind that this is less likely to happen again.
