Yeap, i agree, but this engine as 2 central injectors, and not 4!!!! BUT, on the intake gasket / head to intake there is a coolant conduit, this one is very close to the #4.... so that is my best guess.... as this cylinder show heavy wear and groove, black spot and it was very dry.... Anyway, it's the first time i see that, and on top, this was a Honda engine......with 220k miles one it. Also, we flooded the engine on first start, so an hydro lock is possible, or both, a tired cylinder/rod + the hydro lock.... Cheers, Ben ps.: is the head missing for real!!!!!!!!!!! (he he he) |
