Ezrider Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 iv called it ventilating the block, putting a window in it, FUBAR, or just blown up. i do got to give that old toyota credit though when i blew it up i pulled off to the side of the road and then turned the engine off with the key. it was still running and idling after being ventilated. had it towed home and i moved it around a few times under its own power before pulling the engine. iv got a v8 under the hood now but a lot of little things to do to finnish the installation been kinda on the back burner for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Many years ago,i was parked in a truckstop,was headed inside to take a shower and eat when a female Schnieder driver approached me said her truck wouldn't start (long enough ago it was an IH cabover with the set-back steer axle) "what's it doing I asked" "won't do ANYTHING she said" when I went to take a look,she handed me something wrapped in a rag she had found under the truck (it was the rod end cap and part of the connecting rod!) " Do you think this is a major problem"? can T/A fix this? "Is this piece important"? I had to laugh! And not that it's important to the story (But for Yardo and myself) I thought I'd mention it was a 60 series Detroit that blew up!................................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

grayhair Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Reminds me of the time back in the 70's I was pumping gas at a full service Mobil service station just off the throughway in Buffalo, NY. Late at night a woman pulls in in a new Olds 98. Engine is hot as a firecracker, nearly glowing, smoking, seized up. She says "the oil light has been on for a while." I says "how long?" She says "since about Erie, PA." You just can't make this stuff up... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hey Larry, this was the crank and blower drive from our 392 Fuel engine in 1972. 90% Nitro Methane @ 6000 r.p.m. Those are the biggest pieces left crank.jpgMine let got at the top of second gear, 6000 rpm. Bang. Actually never made a mess on the track, all the pieces had stayed attached enough. Did get a few pieces handed to me by spectators though. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

41chevy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Took the crew at New York National about 40 minutes to clean the track just before the traps. Left a good trail of oil, parts, fiberglass and Poop.Lucky the scatter shield held, you could have lost you feet!

Green Dash Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It looks like the bus was moving over into that lane a few seconds before impact. Maybe this was the result of the bus going too slow as well as a speeding and possibly inattentive drive in the gas truck. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 One wrong move and that dude will be UNDER that tire not over it! Two thumps away from dead. He's not even holding the wheel with both hands! Maybe he took a good hit of scotch before he climed on that thing.Holy crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg1 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I stopped at the Mack garage in Erie yesterday and driving around the building I saw three Penndot trucks there and one had a bunch of stuff in front of it that looked like insulation. Down a little bit was a reefer sitting and I thought I bet the driver hit the snowplow bracket on it. I went inside and pretty soon one of those non English speaking people came in and was trying to tell the parts manager he hit a truck. I didn't look at it but they showed me a picture and said he ripped it open about 3/4 of the way. I guess Volvo didn't put mirrors on the right side that.
