Oil Pan holes 6.5 turbo

[daveiaff]

I bought this engine for a few parts that I needed off of it, but does anyone have a clue what causes this to oil pan?

I haven't picked it up yet, but the pan will be the first thing off. I needed crossover for manifold, dip stick, front pulleys, valve cover, and a few misc. parts, after finding them on different sites and adding shipping and tax, it was easier for me to buy the whole motor.

I would say it lost a connecting rod . probably a lot of damage to the block and the internals .

That engine looks fairly new; probably did not survive its first test run...

$500 (+ cost for pick-up) is fair enough just for all the external parts. Heads, manifolds, turbo, IP, injectors....that alone is worth much more, if you had to buy everything, separately.

Looks like was hit from outside? Maybe sharpnel?

Lot of nice parts, CAMO

Is that a GM or GEP engine? GM will have GM embossed on the valve cover, GEP will have a label on the valve cover and Navistar diamonds in the engine valley.

Yes those dents/holes look like they came from the outside in so it is possible the motor itself is ok. Once the pan is pulled the tale will be told.

No. Look again....


Most likely the block; crank and eventually even the camshaft are scrap. Valves on that cylinder may be damaged, too.

First glance look to from the outside. After a closer look does look like something tried to escape. Still lots of parts, CAMO

Pretty obvious to see the rod and pistons tried to escape....seen this on many hmmwv motors, and in the same spot.

I have a pan that looks almost exactly like that. Rod bearing furthest from the oil pump complain first when there is no oil. Rods, crank and probably some trimming to get the jagged edges of the #1 and #2 cylinder sleeve smooth again should have you running again. Plus, all the usual rebuild stuff.

 

[daveiaff]

Just went through a 6.5 NA complete rebuild, block, crank, and rods were all good on that one. .20 bore to clean up the cylinders, should be running soon.
