Exclamation OT - Worse than bent valves

If you haven't seen this yet, It'll give you something to think about when you put off maintaining your car.

It's not pretty.

I found even worse pictures of a 914 once. I think they were in excellence.

Wow that's great, well not the fact the motor is toast, but the diagnosis of the failure. I love analyzing engines that have grenaded. They're always someone elses though thankfully.
