EDIT: er..there should be an 'of' somewhere there in the tile. As a mechanical engineering student I have some sort of weird fetish for catastrophic mechanical failures. MisterSparkle fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Oct 31, 2009 |

Ooooo goody My GTP's original block, was a little too low on coolant and a little too aggressive on timing. First track outing. Friends car. Small bolt accidentally left in intake during assembly. Ran for about 5 seconds. Torque! I didn't think those cute little tires had it in them. First track outing in the Corolla. 2000 Catera. Bought with jumped timing belt. Note to self: Scirocco radiator does not have the cooling capacity for a FI engine of twice the displacement. Valve dropped in the GTP on the highway. Unsure of exact cause but have a couple theories.

Birfield joint from my old Toyota 4x4. It didn't like the bouncing and the hopping and the 35" tires.

This is the best I have, it's part of a generator set. That's the radiator on top, and in the middle is a vertically mounted electric motor that drives a five blade fan. The air exhausts out the top of the enclosure. Well, it did until the fan got itself broked.

I was told they were incorrect lug lengths for the studs and simply weren't long enough, or something to the effect.

Maybe it's because I've been watching horror movies instead of sleeping, but all these pictures of mechanical carnage suddenly made me think that the block only exists to keep the more murderous parts of the engine from breaking out and killing us all. But that's just silly.

I saw something similar years ago in person, I wish I had photographed it - a VW 5-valve that had a timing failure of some sort, and mashed all of the valves into the head. One of the valve heads had broken off of the stem and embedded itself firmly (at about a 70* angle) in the valve seat.
