What the hell kind of situation makes a piston look like it's been attacked with a ball-peen hammer? More specifically than "catastrophic failure of the everything", I mean.

Valve drops or some other metal object gets in there. With the piston moving as fast as it does, it only takes a few seconds for something like that to happen.

Car engines generally get shut down at the first sign of trouble, too, whereas aircraft engines are kept running until theyvliterally won't turn anymore. Even if you do shut it down, if you can't get the prop feathered, it's still going to turn the engine. MrYenko fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Sep 16, 2014 |

Also, it's an airplane, so it's not like you can just pull over and check it out. You fly it until it stops moving, then glide. There are several videos out there of "mayday mayday, I have zero oil pressure" and they just keep running the motor until it seizes as they're finding someplace to land. This is the video I'm thinking of. Long and boring, but the guy runs the motor at 0 pressure for 7 minutes.

Since we're talking tires and various failures, a few web finds: I'd say it's more of an installation failure that could've led to much worse. This is why I always use loctite on sway bar links that don't come with a self-locking nut of some kind. And since fall is just around the corner, be sure to keep track of your yard tools:

I was looking for a DIY to see how to replace the rotors on my sister's Mazda 6. Came across this page off a similar year Mazdaspeed 3 DIY. He recommended using some anti-sieze when putting on the rotor. And "lubed" the bolts.  Also, "tighten the hell out of the bolts!!!", but no torque specs or anything. At least the comments get on the guy's case and he put a disclaimer that he hosed up for someone trying to follow the instructions.

I had never heard of them either, and as a concept actually sounds really cool. As long as they are not keyed it would make it cheaper create several different cams, but those are the things engineering gets hung up on while overlooking ways which it will lead to some pretty interesting failures.

Some of the Reddit comments say many manufacturers use press-fit cam lobes. It's also worth pointing out that the timing belt failed early.

I've never really understood why cams can't be made out of splined shafts with really good setscrews or something to hold the lobes in place. Problem of having the stupidly high hardness lobes tightened right up to a softer alloy steel shaft or something?

Slung Blade posted:I've never really understood why cams can't be made out of splined shafts with really good setscrews or something to hold the lobes in place. Extra machine time, cutting splines on a shaft that long can't be quick or cheap; you don't frequently have a single lobe fail without the rest of the camshaft failing too, so there's no maintenance angle there either.

We have a lot of those cars on the road here, and I have never heard of a camshaft failure like this before, for what it's worth.

Tools laying on the wet floor (personal peeve), no torque specs at all, "lube", brake quiet goop spread all over the entire pad, etc. Ugh.

It's odd but the van version of lovely diesel hatchbacks are capable of incredible feats, seeing a farmers daughter friend drift one at 90mph through a corner I wasn't brave enough to take a much better car through at 60 is a real eye opener.

I drove a Fiesta Van and Fusion with that 1.4 TDCI engine at one point. Stout, tenacious engines, rev happy for a diesel too. They were still running great at 180,000 miles despite getting dogs abuse all their lives. Two hills (a9 south of Inverness, for anybody who knows scotland) required full throttle at redline in third gear to maintain 70 mph,for over a mile in each hill. They done that on an almost weekly basis for seven years, and that was typical of out driving style everywhere else. And the fiesta would top out at 115 mph and cruise at 100-110 (allegedly), the fusion got a bit lethargic above 90 but would cruise there all day loaded to the roof. Honestly, many of my favourite driving experiences were driving that POS fusion like a madman despite its 15 second 0-60 time.

Ours always seemed to encourage hooliganism somehow. I think it is because it was terrible to drive unless you were flat out and redlining every gear. That van got me 9 points on my licence in two years - the only points I've ever had, and several others got caught in it too.

Well you see, when a person gets really happy to see someone they're attracted to, perhaps after some touchy feely on the couch with a bad movie playing in the background, they might experience something known as an "erection". This also applies to cars; one can only assume this BMW saw either a really really nice M5, or an 80s Fiesta with a 454 and a supercharger. One can only imagine the horrible discomfort from this erection being bent at such an angle.  There are two options here. Ignore it and hope it goes away before the car has to stand up in front of the class, or ... do the needful, hopefully without anybody noticing. .... and that's how a 1 series is made! randomidiot fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Sep 18, 2014 |
