Well i will keep it simple.... I blew the motor up in the second session of the day on sat (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
I just had this motor rebuilt 10T mile's ago (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) A few rod's went through the Canton pan! I will post some pic's later, but im sure all of you have seen hole's before! Im just in a daze still.........I expected something to happen(do this) just not the motor! I WAS still the fastest guy on the track, turning a 1:37.5 a lap before she went! |

QUOTE (trackbird @ Jun 26 2005, 11:02) John, Looking through this wreckage: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC00690.jpg Every rod bolt I can see is still intact and attached to a portion of the rod (but I'm guessing they are not all there in that picture). Did you find any bolts that were broken? Or, 1/2 of the cap without the matching section of rod? Also, the "body" of that rod (the center) looks blue on the bottom, as if it spun a bearing and heated the rod. I don't think I've ever seen one get hot enough to fail without breaking the bolts, but it's interesting to see the coloring on the lower section of the beam. If a bolt didn't break, I'm guessing you pulled a rod apart under compression braking when the crank runs it up the bore with little compression (because the throttle is closed or it's on the exhaust stroke) to slow it down and no positive pressure to help it change direction, the rod can be pulled apart. I just wondered if we could determine which failure it was. I pulled some stuff out of the pan, on a side note all of this was in the pan(except for 2 piece's) when i dropped it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC00708.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC00706.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v635/fir...ne/DSC00707.jpg |
