20,000psi Max cam driven injector:

This is how you properly spin a rod:

Multi-piece piston? Yeah, got that. Aluminum skirt, steel head...

Those are some cool pictures! The first one almost looked like a mini-coilover.

I assume you work on semis or heavy duty equipment of some sort?

Close enough.

These are only off of an 8.5l 4cyl. 325hp/1200tq.

The engine didn't shut down when the rod snapped off of the piston like it was supposed to, and instead kept whapping around in the cylinder and beating the dead piston for a couple extra seconds. The block was cracked in multiple places because of it and almost shattered.

Oh, and it is a mini coil over....I use it on my scale RC car.

Awesome! Since you know him, you MUST have an RC car. We should race.

What's not pictured:

Garrett EGR/VNT turbo...unless it was just the 70mm. I didn't bother to look. The VNT sucks.

That one I really can't tell if it's a joke or not.

But I'll take it as a no, and point you farther up the thread where I stated that it was a 8.5l 4cyl engine, uses 4 of those 20kpsi injectors, makes 325hp and 1200ft-lbs tq, gets on average 3-4mpg on 120gal fuel tanks.

Not at work.

An engine is an engine. It's just built slightly differently from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Why? Do you need a golf car fixed?

When it was pulled out, it had spun to being downwards instead of upwards.
