So I'm replacing the engine on an ST, I was told that the engine just shut off with a POOF! well after pulling the engine and taking off the transmission, this is what happened.



yep thats the flywheel! It came off with the transmission. then looking back at the crankshaft i see this!



yep thats all the bolts. they have completely sheared off! I just couldnt believe it! I mean this engine just does not make enough power the hammer the clutch and cause this kind of "crank walk" So as I continue to tear down the engine, I take off the bracket that holds the AC compressor and, low and behold....



looks like a rod came apart and it probably jammed the engine so hard that the forward motion of the car caused the bolts to break off like that. I guess anything is possible.

Haha, ummmm you're welcome! I told you nothing I ever have done to a car is "easy" cause there's also something else!

Between 65-75mph ish (maybe more like 90, but I wasn't driving or there when it blew)

Is it bad I knew what I'd see on the side of the engine as soon as I saw the flywheel on the trans? Didn't that engine get rebuilt recently or am I thinking of the wrong person?
