...as title, somehow my engine just stopped working.
i have 2006 with AJ engine and done only 104000 km, just serviced and out from nowhere it blew. first some smoke on acceleration, checked oil for foam and smells from exhaust, all seemed ok, no smoke on idle. drove direct to service (just few km and with caution), no error codes...they then said, that there is too much pressure in "oilpan", changed the vent valve and when restarted the engine after 2 minutes in idle the sound (knocking) from engine started to build up...turned off and now i got it opened up a bit....here is what i saw:
camera inside cylinder shows marks from valves on 4-th piston. oil is clean, without any pieces or "dust" in it. when turning the cranck, the 4-th piston remains still, so either the piston is in 2 pieces or rod...
dont want to open it any more now, since i havent decided what to do next and i dont have any idea what is cheaper...to fix it or try to buy new one.
the biggest question, that dosent let me sleep at all, is WHY? i dont see any reason why and how this could happen...
have you guys heard it before, that 4.4 AJ engine blows?
