fordsareslow Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 That's bad, but I've seen a few worse. I've seen a block that was completly split in two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 gnarly... I've seen a few worse around the circle track, but thats to be expected. I've heard of some of those older Volvo engines throwing rod's through the block. We had a CAT motor throw a rod and blew the starter out onto the highway while driving a few years back.

zanis520 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 GEEZ THATS NUTS!!! ive seen worse too though. back when i was in highschool some idiot was reving up his fixed up supra to try and impress some chick and one of the pistons shot straight through the block and dented the hood from the inside. it was insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 you see a lot worse on smaller engines, this is probably the worse i've seen on a large diesel. the next time i have the oil pan off of a detroit or other i'll snap some pictures to show you the size of the main and cap bolts (huge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
