    We had a 91 cavilar 4cyl that ran for 27 miles after it blew the head gasket and threw a rod and whole piston out of the block. Held it wide open and used the clutch to keep it running at lights and stop signed. And it was still doing reverse doughnuts when it went to the scrap yard.

My dad had a 2004 Saturn ion he bought new he drove that fucker 450k miles it went through one timing set (a lot of ignition modules) and the ORIGINAL clutch it was gonna be my car until a Deer decided to become a pancake

    Those 2.3s were as legendary at being tough as they were weak. That's an incredible amount of abuse even though it was kind of helped along. Still the basic toughness of the engine is not in doubt.

    When assembled years ago, no one knew that piston and rod would achieve a flight altitude of over 20 feet in the sky....... beautiful.
    Once installed, internal engine components can assume they'll never see the light of day again.......let alone unassisted flight and internet fame😂
    Btw, killing a 2.3l like that takes skills, congrats.

      So many of our projects have this type of thinking attached to it. No one knew that piston would fly. No one knew the jeep would do a wheelie. The Cadillac become a legendary rally race car. Or my random 350 engine block would be used as a wrecking ball to decimate what was left of my sister's car.
