Ye because the piston rings over heat and over expand creating a better seal and thous higher compression but then they obliterate from the excess heat and friction lol. Steve could try putting a tea spoon of engine oil down into the suspect cylinder to see if it helps compression, if it does it means it's your rings, but if not it is the valves (could be from valve float). Either way there is enough second hand engine parts floating around on Ebay you could just hone the damaged cylinder wall depending of severity and then replace the piston rings. If it is a valve just replace it and then lap the valve.

I'd like to see why it went, as a engineer i have a need to know why things go wrong. With that said, I'd be happy to support the new engine and more of your content. Keep your head up mate, we are with you till the end and it aint over yet!

Hi Steve, Would love a series on the engine

7:28 Walking on the circuit while cars are racing, driving the car on track without seatbelts while others are racing....amazing

Sorry to see this happen Steve. Not like crash damage we experienced but this kind of thing can happen on track. Best wishes and hope you can get it sorted 👍🏁

Sorry to hear this mate, its scary how fast an engine can go from great to pop in seconds. Hopefully its all ok soon, keep and eye on it and get some ideas of why you think it went pop, without spreading rumours we all have ideas and speculation aha. *I wrote this and seconds later you instantly said it at the end of the video aha*

For all the wrong reasons I love story time with Steve 😆

Sorry to hear this has happened Steve really enjoy your content. More than happy to see an engine tear down if you happy to share it with us

You’re title says “not clickbait” but you’re thumbnail is 🤣 this guy

Hope it’s all good though mate and hope you can get through it hope you can sort it out pretty quick before the season is over be good to see you back out there

Hope you get it sorted out Steve been following your stuff for ages now! Proper legend

What a pain for you Steve just as you had it running like a beast! Definitely do a video of the tear down, worth a look!

Sorry to hear about the engine Steve, definatly strip it to see whats went wrong buddy. I love watching all that stuff.

Gutted for you Steve ! I'm interested to see this engine pulled to bits I'll watch the video Steve !

Sad to see the damage after all the hard work that’s gone into it, the way I see it is that it’s a chance for you and your audience to lean what’s happened and it’s an opportunity for you to make a little bit of money to fund the new engine. Sorry to hear the bad news mate 👍🏻

I can feel the pain this must br, but more videos and more details are much appreciated. Stay strong 💪💪

i personally enjoy diagnosis videos such as this one steve! you'll have it fixed in no time.

Sad times mate, hope you get a new engine sorted quickly ! Would love to see the teardown and inspection, interested to see what exactly happened.

Don’t muck about with it, just get a built engine and a massive turbo! It’s the only realistic option 😃👍🏻

Well that just sucks Steve. I have no doubt you’ll pull it apart and figure out what went wrong and build it back better. I for one would love to see the videos and will gladly watch all the ads. Hang in there mate you’re destined for more boost I’m sure

Keep the head up Steve been there a few weeks ago myself on the RS but back better and stronger than ever 💪🏻

going to link you ebay shop to our car club so when you get the parts in and are selling they will be perfect for them . good luck man i had same sorta thing happen to mine i ran high boost for over a year and i changed a few parts turned the boost down and the next day it blew . sods law !

Sorry this has happened mate, hope everything works out. Definitely do a engine video Good luck 👍🏻

Let’s see you take the engine apart for sure! Will be good to see :) feel sorry for you SPS

Sorry to hear about engine probs hope you get it resolved all the best.👍👍👍

Awww gutted for u mate. It Was running sweet!! Hope your get sorted soon 👍

Feel for you mate! Can’t wait to see the cause and what’s to come!

Sonofabeech. Love the thumbnail btw hahaha. You could post gardening videos for all I care, I’ll watch them, whatever it takes for you to get that new engine.

Sorry to hear about the engine. I hope you are fast back a track. Good luck from the Netherlands

Definitely rings over issues with the H.Gasket, might be worth picking up one of those cheap Endoscopes & having a look down the bore, see if there is any scoring of the cylinder, prior to you taking it apart. Great video though Steve, love your no nonsense & it is what it is methods 👍🏼

I'm so disappointed your engine blew - Definitely strip and diagnose that engine! Your vids are awesome Steve!

Go for it! It’s really interesting to be honest! Feel for you Steve but keep going forward 🙌

So gutted for you Steve! 😟 I blew my Engine at Combe last year. No Compression on Cylinder 1 and it turned out to be a snapped inlet Camshaft between the lobes of Cylinders 1 & 2. On your Engine it’s more than likely damaged rings on Cylinder 1 but a video into diagnosing the root cause on a tear down will certainly be interesting. Onwards and upwards my friend. Got a fully built engine in mine now with an even better spec. Head up mate you’ll be back on circuit in no time! 👍

Feel so sorry for you Steve after all the work and great content you have put into the car. Luckily a man with your knowledge and determination can repair it.

Gutted for you Steve, I would be very interested in seeing a new engine build. You partly inspired a fellow old fart to get back out on track after a 7year hiatus.

That would be a good video Steve to see the engine taken apart. I think it will be the rings. Good luck with it.

Bad luck Steve, the engine breakdown would be very interesting.

Sorry to hear about the engine Steve, Would definitely be interested in seeing the engine stripped down will be good to see what happened to it 👍

I'm on board for learning what failed. I've got a FiST so your videos are informational as well as entertaining.

Gutted to see this mate😔 Praying you can get a new engine sorted asap

100% pull the engine out and let us see whats failed. I have 140 psi in cylinder 1 & 4 but 120 psi in 2 and 3 so will be interesting to see what failed already on yours and what is likely to fail on mine. Keep up the good videos 👌

Man watched this car from the start been a sub ever since the traffic was brought in, Now definetly sealed my mind on remapping my car, Way i look at it now if i was designed for that power it would leave the factory with it. Hopefully you get it back up and running soon!

Sorry for your engine going bang Steve and you've definitely got to tear down the engine Steve to see what's gone but I think it's definitely cracked the rings 👍 hope u get it fixed soon 👍

A friend of mine has the same specced fiesta st as i do, same tune, same upgrades. After 2 laps on the ring he is hitting 105 degrees while i am hardly hitting 95. Tried everything even swapping parts between cars. Now he is running bigger radiator and oil cooler and is getting decent temps. Strange how 2 identical cars can get so different temps. It's like u say, it's a bit of luck with these engines. Gonna put shims in mine to be sure when i change out the timing belt. And please make some videos of you investigating the engine. U always make it understandable for a lot of people!

Love to see what’s inside the engine Steve 👍🏻👍🏻

Gutting mate! when you reinstall look to get some EGT's in the manifold. swagelock presure tappings with some K type thermocouples. It may have just been on the limit. Big time gain on track, awesome.

Looks like piston rings have gone putting pressure into the crank case blowing the oil out . Would love to see a strip down to confirm the issues . Hope you can get it sorted soon all the best mate love all your video's

Shame to see it happen to you fella. I'd definitely be interested watching to see what the cause was hope you get it sorted ASAP 👍

Would be great to see inside and see what’s wrong, kind of put me off pushing any power through my st!

Vote hear for watching you strip the engine sad its had to come to that tho been loving the vids been watching since the st170 engine removal vid and also ended up buying a blue 180 meself

Slap an ecoboost badge on the boot and sell it 😂

Come back harder, faster and stronger Steve 🤜🏼🤛🏼

My money is on bore wash on cylinder 1. All plugs are sooty which is overfueling. Maybe worth talking with your tuner to check the fueling on the map as I'd hate for you to see another engine go pop.

Engine strip down would be awsome dude! Look forward to it!

Gutted for you mate!! Was wondering where you went after I got back from a session. Hope it gets sorted quick for you buddy!!

Yes I'd be interested in you doing a tear down and investigation video. Maybe do it in several parts but upload them together. That should help the view count.

Definitely worth having a talk with your tuner and going over those parameters….. cylinder 1/4 are the most likely to pop IME

Just watched your video mate so sorry to see that one thing I'm sure if there's anybody that can fix that it's you 😁👍

Sucks to hear this mate I had the same happen to me turned out i burnt a hole in the Zylinder of piston 4 Bad thing is the engine was completely fine but you can’t buy new Pistons at your ford dealership I ended up buying a used piston and put that in the car was running fine for 4-5 months and now my head gasket started to leak water into Zylinder 1 Now i am in the process of replacing the engine for a new one and most likely will rebuild the old one with forged pistons and stuff I mean you can see it as a glas half full thing Atleast it Looks like you can save the engine Anyway good luck mate and keep it up Love the videos about the fiesta since no one goes as much into detail as you do 👍👍

Im sorry for your loss Steve. I would love to see an engine rebuild. I think youve blown the piston rings, but id need to see more on the engine. When will you be doing the engine pull? possibly?

really interested to see what happened so worth pulling it apart!

Sorry about the car Steve, I would watch the work you do on it 👍

Deffo interested to see inside the engine, gutted for you man

It would be interesting to know exactly what happened 🤔. I for one will tune in ...chin up Steve 👍

Tear it down steve it will be interesting to see what went wrong. All best Daz.

I would also like to see the tear down to help understand what has let go. Things are sent to try us, and i hope the keyboard warriors do not start poking at you in any way , shape or form. Your channel and videos are great and always worth watching. Keep going Steve, we are with you 👍

Piston ring was the first thing that came to mind, and yes let see a strip down of the motor

Do a tear down of the engine whilst you’re waiting for a new one to go in🤙 Hope you sort one soon mate

The Joy's of 6000 plus revs Steve , head off , sump off , piston out 👍👍👍👍

Definitely interested in a teardown video 👍

Sad news engine blew but excuse to go fully forged excuse the pun fully blown all out powerful future proof engine build me thinks 🤔😎👍🏻 keep up the great work on channel Steve

Better off getting it built, always a chance it could happen again especially on track days. Maybe speak to Matt Lewis, could do so video content on it. Worth considering

Damn, so sorry to hear that Steve, these engines seem to be pot luck, some can take it, some just can't. Like you said, you possibly had an underlying issue anyway??? I'd personally be very interested to see the engine stripped for investigation, and I'm sure many others would also.

Keen to see the engine strip down....my thoughts are leaned out and melted piston or blown head gasket. I have just rebuilt a 2019 1.4 turbo Suzuki Vitara engine (write off as driver hit a animal & cooked it) i thought the compression was still low on 2,3,4...mine one is over 200psi being turbo...or maybe it's just the Suzuki engine design?

That sucks! But I guess it gave you it’s all until the end by the sounds of the times! Sounds to me like either the rings have broken (assuming no obvious sign of debris in no.1?) or possibly a cracked liner? Either way I’d enjoy like everyone else a video proving the failure 👍🏻 chin up though the car can only get stronger with failures 💪🏻💪🏻

Of course we want to see inside the engine😁

I would say it your piston ring on one piston, hopefully you can do some of the work your self and maybe some mods to the engine, like harden vales and better piston too, good luck on your fix

Feel devastated for you Steve,but I'm interested to see inside the mill to find the problem.

Take a look with a bore scope first to see if there's any visible damage. Retorque the head and see if that improves the compression a bit.

Gutted for you and hope you sort something out to get the track car going again. With zero compression I doubt it's a ring problem, probably an intake valve damaged allowing oil etc up where it shouldn't go.

Hope you can get her sorted steve

Definitely want to see the engine apart!

Welcome to the (sad) club of blown engines... I feel your pain... Mine's been sitting at home with a blown cylinder as well, exactly the same as your car (oil coming out of ITG filter, white smoke on track, 0 compression on cyl. 3 but the others are fine, etc...) I will be pulling the engine out as well in a few weeks hopefully. Would be interesting to see what your findings are and I'll let you know what caused mine to blow.

Hey man, grab a Cobb access port and have Adam Tuned do your tuning. He is really good and he knows the S280 turbo and the the engine's limits. We've seen this in the states a lot. I bet you deformed the cylinder wall right at the thin spot between cylinders. Can't wait for the new setup.

Hope it’s just an intake valve so you can get aware with a cylinder head refurb. Definitely do a strip down video.

Do you think you was just unlucky or was it down to it being stage 3 and on a track? I’m hoping to get a x47r soon but a blown engine is a bit worrying.

Bloody hell Steve, that’s rotten luck. I’d love to watch a video or 3 of you pulling the engine and replacing it.

I'd be happy enough to watch to see exactly what went wrong with cylinder 1 hopefully whats happened might be reboar and new rings and full clean down with oil being in intake and cylinder
