Holy crap. Thats what happened to my celica then. Ill take pictures as soon as I can. I should become an engine tester, cause if it survives my driving, then and only then can it be labeled as "bullet-proof".

I know a guy who did it in an RX-7. I think he messed up the rotor bearings and apex seals.
