Status: offline 		i was running my 3.3 and i flipped my truck and it started idling very high like the engine had not load on it but it also seemed like the truck was stuck at WOT so when i killed the engine i flipped the truck over and my carb was broken in half the truck was also running with out the air filter because the carb was broken in half i am wondering what if i the engine is done and also is this normal also the spur was all chewed up

Status: offline 		the spur likely gave out as a result of a broken engine mount.....If it was a hard enough hit to bust the carb in half. It may have ingested some dirt I would pull the pistom/sleeve and clean it all out before trying to restart it....The engine may be fine as well you won't know until your pull it apart....If you can push the top od the piston through the top of the sleeve its done for...If not it will fire again and if tuned properly will perform fine.

Status: online 		Fortunately....no I haven't had that happen to me before, but I have had the old generation tmaxx engine(pro .15) just suddenly bite the dust before due to just overall wear and tear and just general use. But it got its share of a useful life.....
