    damn. Not exactly a common occurrence, haha. I've heard of their turbos exploding, not the cylinders though...

    For anyone wondering, that's the cylinder chilling on the ground, lol.

    You're on a an automotive forum. Specifically, one where half the people on here have at bare minimum pulled a motor at least once.

    Yeah, well, they have a not very normal engine design... where do you see engines that the cylinder can come out of the engine with the head? lol.

    If I saw a thread when I woke up tomorrow regarding someone with a poor tune and a cylinder somehow on the side of the road I'd be less than surprised.
