Uncontained Turbine Failure:




It is worth noting that the turbine disc you see here came from the #1 engine, passed through the pack bay and ended up stuck on the outboard side of #2.

I got this one in my inbox today. The hangar at the Dulles Jet Center collapsed under the weight of snow and wrecked 4 planes.
















edit: corrected number of planes damaged.

Replaced the brake master cylinder and I was about to start bleeding the system and this happened. :argh:

I have a certain knack for compounding failures and simply didn’t want to gently caress with it. Ended up limping it down to the local Les Schwab on spongy rear end brakes and had their guys deal with it. Dude had a proper nut extractor and made short work of all four locks.

Spent the weekend in Reno at the Air Races and came across a display of broken radial engine parts.

Found in a Dodge slant 6.

No damage to the piston but it boogered the pushrod a little.

Never replaced the 22RE long block in my old Celica GT just find out that the new block ran worse with bad fuel injectors than the old block did.

For smaller jobs I like to use cardboard egg flats, top to bottom; left to right. Assembly is in reverse.
