summary: the engine had bad rod knock and wasnt worth saving, so narutrally we blew it up before junking it.

Where's the Kaboom?

There was supposed to be an Earth shattering Kaboom!

[wtfman2]

Thats just over heated that aint dead yet. Let it cool down and do it again. I hope you meant that you were going to junk the engine and not the car.

[CryptokiD]

this was just a highlight of the video. the engine ran for another 5 minuts after blowing the top of the radiator off.

did i mention we drained the oiul before deciding to blow the engine?

[Kindred]

Now that's a tough little engine.

God Bless Mazda! Looked like the Camera Man almost got burned from steam blowing a hole in the radiator... Now thats taking it for the team!

[CryptokiD]

if anyone has a good host, i have 15 minutes of this engine on video running at wide open throttle in neutral with no oil while we are trying to destroy it. at one point out of frusteration for its lack of destruction i dump a half can of soda pop into the valve cover while its sitting there at wide open throttle.

B3s....

You can't kill them!!

[Gro Harlem]

so does it still run or did you finally destroy it?

what engine is going in there? or are you junkin the car

I know its not a Ford, Mazda, or Festy, but...... My neighbor gave us (the neighborhood delinquents) a 68 Dodge dart with a 225 leaning tower of power to run back in the quarry behind our houses. we ran that car through everything, tore out the rad (and front clip), tore off the oil pan, and just generally wreaked havoc with it. we drove that thing through wash-sand pits, with no water or oil, wide open bottom end and foot to the floor. it ran like that for four months! it got thrashed almost everyday, rattled like a coffee can full of bolts, hammered like an inmate on a chain gang, and never quit. we finally drove it into the pond, just to kill it!

My brother and I used his geo tracker to test out a 5 foot high 4-wheeler ramp. We got about 6 or 7 feet off the ground. It was crazy. Now that I think about it the geo could have flipped over.

[wtfman2]

Probably not.
