Xlyfindel posted:hey you never know, maybe they put on the wrong filter type or something and it couldn't handle the pressure and exploded. Because that thing looks like it exploded. I kind of hope it exploded... Sadly, this is not what a filter which has blown up do to high integral pressure looks like. Typically the can will be relatively intact and you will see a lot of deformation at the top of the filter where the plate which threads onto the base and the can are crimped together. If the can does fail it's usually a small crack and you lose enough oil fast enough that you have other issues before the whole things goes kablooey.

That was the stock 2bbl 283 that I killed. Im glad it happened since the replacement one makes such great noises and power.

You should update your thread with about a half minute of revving the new 283 because it sounds great.

Some dude bought a used Fiesta ST and had this happen to him at 9800 miles on the clock.  http://www.fiestastforum.com/forum/threads/5724-New-member!!-With-a-blown-up-Fiesta-from-MI Some poor bastard posted:Well I bought my fiesta with 2500 miles on it. It's been an amazing car. One day on my way home from work I pulled up to a stop sign and noticed my tach was bouncing a little at idle and it was missing. It felt just like a misfire caused from a coil pack. It was raining pretty hard and when I got home I thought maybe a coil got wet. It sounded like a Subaru with a cam! Then as I glanced up from looking under the hood I noticed smoke from the exhaust so I shut her down and decided to pull the plugs. They were all good except #2 fouled full of oil. Then I did a compression test all had 185-190 except #2 it had 65lbs. So I added a ounce of oil to the cyl and my compression jumped to 190! So knew I must have cracked a ring. So I just pulled it all apart and somehow the bottom o the piston broke apart and I cracked all the rings on number 2. But I couldn't tell you what caused it. All the other pistons are fine. The only conclusion I have is it must have been a bad cast or just a faulty piston. It's broke in an area that j have never really seen before. I was wondering if there are any other cases of this.

That definitely smacks of a manufacturing defect. Weird way for it to fail.

I was trying to figure out why this crazy person was rebuilding his engine on a car that would totally have warranty still and he mentions that he bought it with no warranty and a salvage title. WTF kind of damage gives a car a salvage title with 2500 miles on it?

Flood or lightning will do it. I've never seen a piston come apart like that. Was really confused until I kept reading.

Flood would make a ton of sense though usually hydro locking should kill the rods shouldn't it?

That's an aluminum piston, so I'd expect that to go before the connecting rod. Though, the way it broke is pretty strange, hydrolocking shouldn't leave the face unscathed while the skirt fractures off

Most pistons are aluminum of some sort. It depends entirely on what the weakest part of the system is - usually the cast rod, but sometimes something else.

Flooding could have allowed interesting debris into the cylinder.

Without a better image, that looks a lot like a porous cast.

Was parked next to a pickup where the cords were showing in a nice 1.5" wide ring all around the sidewall of the front passenger tire. I think they ran the tire along a curb and scrubbed all the rubber off the side.

I was wondering the same thing, I don't think it meshed with the top gear at all and just looks like it due to the lighting. EDIT: Though it's funny to imagine someone assembled the gears in such a way that they worked against each other, resulting in the carnage shown.

My mom called me while driving because a warning light came on. She wouldn't pull over ("I'm going somewhere!") or look in the book and poorly described it to me (I think it might be the coolant temp light, but maybe the oil pressure light). So, maybe watch this space for disaster!

So, maybe watch this space for disaster! I can't stand when people do that. I fix enough cars that friends will call me for advice. "My car is overheating! What should I do?" "Please pull over. I will be there in a bit" "I can't, I will be late to $event" "Well drive it until it dies then and call a tow" Sigh...

That's why I usually phrase it more like "pull over now, worst case is $xxx. Don't, you're looking at $xxxx." They're a bit more likely to listen, and if they don't, they're informed when they don't.

Turned out she didn't close the hatch properly on her Forester. Crisis averted! Still, she should have loving pulled over.

She just hates driving and everything to do with it. I ... I don't know. I thought maybe the coolant temp. The image of a gauge cluster I found didn't show the "hatch open" light, so I didn't think that.
