THE ENGINE FINALLY QUIT

[565bbchevy]

Hey, it had a good life and died doing what it liked doing best.

 

[Injectedcutty]

WOW!!!! That block went through a quick, yet painful death!

 

[lilbowtie]

Can't believe there wasn't any loud bang or knocking.

I love blowed up sh*t as long as its somebody else's! Haha, i had a small block let go years ago in the burnout box, crank broke, just shut off no noise, mine looked just like yours, only thing i saved out of that motor was a the head studs, I was grateful it happened there instead of downtrack, could have worse. yours could have too, smart move running the diaper, I run one on my blown alky car, Are they required in your class?

WOW!
Not that I've seen many broken cranks, but I don't recall seeing the whole rod throw break off. What was it? The oil filter is on the wrong side.

With a broken crank there won't be any noise, it'll just let go when it decides to. I had a friend with an S10 that had a bad wobble in his crank pulley. The crank was broken and he had driven it that way for about a month.

Cause the engine is upside down! No - diapers aren't required.

 

[DRIVEN]

Hey wait a minute. I thought 4 bolt mains were supposed to keep stuff like that from happening.

 

[motorheadmike]

Cool, and not cool.

It was an Oldsmobile joke.
