I feel for the guy, but this might be just about the funniest way to kill your car I've ver seen (and believe me, I've seen, and done, quite a few).

"Some how a rubber bb loader full of BB's fell into the intake hoses and hid there."

"So, ya think I'm SOL??"

"So I'll be looking for another engine."

Natural progression of stupid...[whacko]

What a dumba$$. You THINK you'd be able to notice BBs in an engine part when you're reassembling it.

I figured a BB from a low powered BB could take out a Miata anyway....

Many, many moons ago, I worked as an auto mechanic in a BMC dealership. We were constantly pulling pranks and practical jokes on each other. A guy would go on vacation. We'd punch a hole in the back of his tool box, screw in a zerk and pump grease in until it came out of the drawer fronts, wipe it down and watch when he came back.

One time when I was rebuilding and engine somebody placed a small object on one of the pistons. When I started that sucker up, HOLY COW! What a racket! Just had to remove the spark plug and run the engine briefly to eject it. No harm done. But this was an overhead cam job, so when I thought I'd have to pull the heads I about pooped my pants.

Funny afterward.

Worst I've ever done through carelessness was to drop a head bolt into the header y-pipe. As soon as I heard that rattle when I finished putting the car together I knew what it was, so I made a red-faced vist to my exhaust guy and let him cut out the cat, and reweld it back in.

Him Being from PRK, he is lucky he wasn't arrested for turning his vehicle into an illegal "Assault Weapon."

I've heard of "shot peening" engine parts, but I didn't know this was how it was done!

Well that was a funny one but it looks like the motor didn't have much life left in it anyway . Look at all the black tar oil all over.
