I don't know what I'm looking at but it's making me feel unwell.

Diesel turned back into coal.

A lack of basic maintenance

Looks like someone dropped a half-cooked chocolate cake in there ಠ_ಠ

That lasagna is DONE..

Put it back with new head gasket it should be fine.

Little bit of seafoam, it'll be fine.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Instantly thought of Project Farm's Seafoam video after reading this. This engine would provide quite the testing grounds for Seafoam!

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

That's the video!

Bit of seafoam will loosen it up...

Many years ago some friends and I had a weekend to block swap a turbo d16 civic that shit the bed and the only d16z6 we could find on short notice looked like this.

We picked it up friday afternoon. Scraped out what we could get to and filled it up with a mix of equal parts diesel, auto trans fluid and acetone, sat a radiant heater under the oil pan and got drunk while we cranked the block over with a rattlegun every few minutes, we drained and refilled twice but the internals came out surprisingly clean and the block did take about 18 months of being wailed on before it died.

First off, great story! That sounded like fun.

But you led me to look up "wailed on". You really want "whaled on", but OTOH we "wail" on a guitar. Now I know less than I did before looking.

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Second, great story.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

If it insta-dissolved the crud, that would be great, but it'll probably just loosen it and clog up the oil galleries. I don't put much trust in Seafoam. Anything that's supposed to fix so many problems probably doesn't fix any of them.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I was being fecicious lol. I wouldn't look to seafoam to solve anything, especially this egregious. That shit looks like it's hardened.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Forbidden sushi.

[-] zachimusprime44@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

How many miles over the oil change was that? 😳

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

From the looks of it - all of them.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Well, that's fine.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

When the VTech never kicks in.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Thought there was tennis balls in there at first.

[-] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Is that a VR6?
