quote:An extreme example of the destructiveness of a poorly tuned motor is that DeTom's motor spit the crank out the bottom because his son had crossed a pair of plug wires.
Well only part of it went out the bottom, most of the crank went out the side of the oil pan and made a huge hole. STill more of the crank went up and busted the camshaft into several pieces. One piston kinda froze up into the wall and a couple of the rods looked like pretzles. I still have a few of the more interesting shapeed pieces in a box. If you want, I could take pictures of it and post it here. My drag race buddy said that was the worst blowed up engine he had seen in twenty years of raceing, and I wasn't even trying to blow it up or nothing. Imagine if I had set out to do it.
