Well, I got your attention anyway..

I've been seeing a lot of posts about possible engine failures, so I figured I'd make an "Is my engine blown?" document.

http://www.rotorwiki.com/index.php/Blown_Engine_Diag

Can some of the experts here verify that its valid? If not, feel free to edit it or post the corrections here and I will edit it.

There might be typos and such.. its a rough draft.

 

Yea!!!! Now hopefully they will search and find this thread!

 

Too much to ask unfortunately, at least we can just link to this article when they ask.

 

Kind of like the writeup I did 6 years ago:

Kind of... except mine is for idiots.. ie the "my car does this..." type writing. If people are too lazy to search in the first place, there's a good chance they are going to look at that big blue document and think.... "Man, thats a lot of reading". I'm trying to drill that down a little more... since all of the posts you see are "My car is billowing white smoke... what the heck is going on?"

Also, if there's something wrong or incomplete, people can click "Edit" on mine. Hehe.

I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel, just trying to make it a run-flat.

 

at first i was expectin a lashing out towards me. i actually like this alot. hopefully itll help me diagnose better in the future. when i get home im gonna read through it.
