Question:
What do people mean when they say an engine is blown? I assume they are saying the engine is no good and needs to be replaced. But any problems an engine may have can be fixed by replacing the broken/worn parts so how can an engine actually be blown?
Answers:
Having problems starting car. What is wrong?
Generally a blown engine means there was a catastrophic failure of internal parts that sends a rod through the side of the block or oil pan. Seldom are blocks salvageable when this happens.it usually means no good, can mean blown head gasket-fixible, blown rod-maybe, blown piston-maybe, blown a hole in the block-not usually :(
Hwo do you know if your battery is going bad or if it's the alternator?
BLOWN as in UP or as in TURBO CHARGED ? Both ways happen...check out the drag strips.. check out the speed shops..i have a 1998 mercury mountaineer. how hard is it to replace the struts?
It usually means buggered, but the it can mean the cylinder head gasket has blown- around £400 to fix usuallyIt can also mean that it's Turbocharged (forced induction)

no, it means that the engine is no good, because you have blown it up, based on not have enough oil, transmission fluid, and drving recklessly at high speeds that makes the engine over heat....I can't find the flasher relay on a tuarus. I was told it was near the base of the steering column.?
means there's some mechanical damage... "blown" usually means something isn't holding pressure.. head gasket leaking, bad piston rings causing blowby.when you start finding oil in your coolant, or gas in the oil, then you know you have serious mechanical problem in your engine.
