Luckily not this.

lucky dog it went through your pan and not the block.

I highly recommend prechamber maintanence on cars of unknown maintenance schedules. It only costs ~5 per cylinder to pull, clean, inspect and reinstall. The should be inspected every chance you have to open the cylinder (gp's injectors etc).

Oh lol i just saw that, im quite tired. You could seal that up possibly with silicone sealant around the mount, and bolting it on, i doubt it would leak.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but there's another hole on the other side of the block. I haven't pulled the pan off to see if the crank is damaged or if there's any other damage.
This came out of an unknown SD. It was a freebee.

I would get about 10 or so. and 5 of the PC crush washers. The 22mm x 1 shimano crank puller worked like a champ. You want ATLEAST a 5lb slide hammer. I will have the tool for the collar for rent. I will charge $5 per loan + shipping and just take it out of the deposit. You can try making your own using a 15/16th socket but I was never able to get enough torque this way.

WOAH! Sounds to me like your balls went out your exhaust pipe long ago.

Wow what a big huge honkin difference. My brakes are getting a workout.... I will update with pics of cyl #5 and a pictorial. This is an easy fix with the right tool (which I will loan out) and relatively low cost.
