My guess would have to be detonation.
Well, in doing my finances, I have decided that the entire car will be parted out. between the rear window dammage, the front fender dammage, wiring issues, missing wheel, and pistons, I just dont have the funds available to put humpty back together again. conn rods are eagle, and pistons i belive are wiseco. It is a shame to take down a car that was built well, but i want to make sure that the parts go to a community that will give them a good home.
