Why my motor failed....
Hello. Some of you might have seen some of my posts over the past few months about my overheating/coolant system problems. Well, now that I have torn apart my motor, I discovered what the cause of all of them were! Check this out:

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
No, theyre not repairable. Plus, there are enough irons in the world you shouldnt need to.
As for whether or not that can be *caused by* overheating, or is teh *cause of* overheating, I guess its sor tof like the ckicken and the egg. All I know is about half of the overheated motors I get into have such damage. Maybe the engine overheated the first time for some other reason, cracked the jacket, and from then on wouldnt hold coolant or stay cool. OR maybe, it just cracks due to age or stress and from then on you have a cooling problem.

It looks like overheating occurred minorly at first, but the damage made the heat worse and worse, until we have what you see here.
As for the chicken and the egg, the egg obviously came first, if you think evolution-wise, the reptiles and such laid eggs, that was long before a chicken ever showed up.
