lol agreed, but from the video it sounds like it was the shop's car.

I thought load was healthy because it reduced the tensile load on the conrod because combustion pressures were higher. I may be wrong though.

as said up there, Strongs are a wreckers/dismantlers so all the comments about not taking your own car there are irrelevant. But hey, why not kill the motor it was only going to go in the scrap pile anyway

Surely they could salvage some parts of the engine! buggered if I know. seems a bit of a waste, but then again it's only a Jappa.

we have plenty of motors in stock, and all spare parts, but we just had a one off experiment on a saturday with a buggered motor that was going to be scrapped anyway.

As i stated on their channel - makes me want to AVOID buying parts from that company to be perfectly honest - what a bunch of muppets!

How many other cars have the done that to for fun and then we've bought the parts from them for our cars believing we have bought good quality good condition 2nd hand stuff off them - i think (personally) it shows a lack of intelligence from the owners - if they then stated none of the parts would be for sale then that would be at least understandable but going through which parts can and can't be sold after it - idiotic ! I won't buy from them again that is for sure after watching that video

rest assured mr timaru, this video does not represent the quality of parts in stock, the staff chose the best parts from the donor vehicles for sale. odviously the engine/parts in the video were not destined for sale. view this one-off as a 'what would happen' expriment for those curious to watch.

Just because an engine blows up doesn't mean the air flow meter or brake callipers are no good.

Kinda lame blow up but funny still. And Strong for Subaru are a pretty professional company when it comes to the parts they sell an warrentys they give just because some of the boys in the yard had some fun does not mean they are going to rip you off and if you think this reflects there parts you are a bit silly lol and do you think this is the only wreckers in the contry that does this sort of thing! i mean come on they are car wreckers!
