The appearance of a blown engine can also vary depending on the type of engine and the extent of the damage. Some common features of a blown engine include:
- Cylinder head gasket failure: This can cause a loss of compression, which can lead to engine knocking or ticking.
- Piston damage: This can cause a loss of power and engine overheating.
- Connecting rod failure: This can cause a catastrophic engine failure.
Here are some additional pictures that show what a blown engine might look like:

If you suspect that your engine may be blown, it is important to have it inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Continuing to drive a vehicle with a blown engine can cause further damage and may even be dangerous.
