    Back in the 70's I had a car with a slant six in it. One day on the highway it started to knock. Since I was not far from home, I continued to drive it. The car was ready for the junkyard anyway. Suddenly the knocking got very intense and before I could react, there was a loud bang and I could hear parts bouncing under the car as I came to a stop on the side of the road. Number six had blown right through the side of the engine below the water jacket. For some reason, I turned the key and the engine started up again running on five cylinders. (#6 was laying on the highway) The imbalanced engine shook so badly, I could hardly hold the steering wheel, but with only one more mile to go, I drove it home.
    Those old slant 6 engines were very tough.

    Breaking a con rod reminded me of a comment from a racing driver back in the late 70's His car retired from an event in a huge cloud of oil smoke. Later when asked what caused his car to break down, the driver said "it was an electrical fault" The interviewer (in disbelieving tone) questioned the driver for more detail, and he said " It was an electrical fault, - I broke a con rod, and it punched a hole clean through the side of the block, and knocked the alternator off".

      Barry Fields
      You know you really can't do that to a bearing less rod right? The reason you resize a rod is to restore its concentricity not to restore its diameter. The bearing is the wear component and is disposed of during a rebuild. This rod has no bearing.
      Could you cut the cap and rebore the rod? Sure you could but an aluminum rod that has been heated to the point it has lost appreciable material is thermally damaged to a point of questionable usability. Which is why you won't find anyone resizing an aluminum lawnmower rod.
      But youtube is just going to reply to me with, "Google it newb!".
      For those who are planning to do that I suggest you actually go out and do something with your hands besides ask google to answer all your questions.

    In Gary Indiana in about 1959 at a fire at Jackson’s restaurant, a Detroit Diesel engine in a fire truck found a way to start sucking the engine oil out of the crankcase and ran away. The engineer running the controls on the side of the truck didn’t’t hear it above all the other chaotic noises. He was killed when the engine accelerated to a point it couldn’t hold together and when it detonated it went off with such force that internal parts inside blasted the Roots blower on the side of the engine completely off the block and this 60 pound accessory came through the truck body and killed the engineer where he stood. I went to high school with his son. These 2-cycle engines run with an abundance of available combustion air and if they pick up a stray source of fuel it will burn it all and run-off to a theoretical unlimited RPM and explode apart in the process.

    It's funny how the pieces of the rod shot out the hole you cut. I wonder if you had not cut it would the rod have smashed that part of the case out? Maybe not from the original force but as the crank swings around again engaging the broken parts and smashing them out of the case there. Thanks for another cool video!!

    and this is just a small engine throwing a rod. I've seen instances on larger engines that threw a rod and it literally punctured the engine. It's kinda scary to see the sheer power of that. What's also scary is seeing what happens when an engine sucks in too much water. Looks like someone shot a hole through it with a .50 cal rifle.

    Keep these videos coming. Stay safe, Joe Z

  • @ColdSmokes
    @ColdSmokes 6 лет назад +1

    Always interesting stuff here!
    As I mentioned in another post, the rod is smashed off not necessarily by the actual failure but by the heavy crank full of momentum coming around, bashing and severing off the big end of the rod.
    I've seen automotive steel rods come off the crank at low rpm and the crank was not able to bash it apart but simply blocked the crank from turning. Analysis of the rod was very telling in this particular situation. It was a bolt failure!

    I had an early 80s Buick LeSabre with a 350 cubic inch smallblock V8 that did this while climbing a long hill on a hot day. A piece went through the oil pan, with a puddle of oil on the ground at the side of the road. The body was rusty- I had it towed to a body shop, and they kept it as a parts car for the towing price. I got on a bus to continue my vacation trip.

    Years ago I was driving a Volvo tractor-trailer with a bazillion miles on the clock and a very nasty rod knock. The mechanic at the shop knew about it and just didn't give a rats ass.
    I was on I-290 in Massatwoshits headed for Bangor Maine one night...knockknockknockknock....BANG!! smoke out the ying-yang lol. I got out there was about 6 gallons of oil all over the road. Pulled the hood open and saw a HUGE hole in the block with a rod halfway out lol. I think the boss woman told the mechanic to take a walk and keep on going :-)

    Years ago a NASCAR racer (Ken Schrader) was asked why his engine failed. His remark was very interesting.

I always learn something from them. Thank you for this video.

    Very similar story to Roy's story below. Back in the 80's, one Sunday morning, the neighbor next door asked me if I could look at his car which had made a "funny noise" on his way home from partying the night before. It was a 70's vintage Slant 6 powered Mopar product. He started the car right up and it shook so much I thought the mirrors were going to fall off it. I popped the hood and saw a grape fruit sized hole in the side of the block where you could see the crankshaft spinning around like it was a cutaway display in a museum.......and laying right on top of the steering box in all it's glory......lay the mangled connecting rod that had exited through that hole the night before. I reached down and picked it up while chuckling a bit. The neighbor asked what it was, I told him "The end, time for another car", and closed the hood. He was genuinely surprised since he had just driven the car home 35-40 miles on the highway after it had made the "funny noise". The rod still hangs on a wall in my shop.You would think oil was optional in those motors by how they just kept running..

  • @billgateskilledmyuncle23
    @billgateskilledmyuncle23 3 года назад

    This reminds me of when my mom bought a discount returned murray mower from walmart. She only paid 40 dollars. I thought it was odd when I would pull start it and it would free spin for like 5 seconds, but wouldn't start. I took the head off to discover the piston wasn't moving. So the mower was probably returned under warranty and they sell them cheap to gearheads. Well I'm a busy gearhead so she took it back and got a refund. I guess this very same piece probably broke off.

  • @sabbath7081

    What causes the engine to knock only when it's under load? I have a 1966 Briggs and Stratton that knocks violently when it's working but runs smooth as can be with no load. The engine has been doing this for 25 years. It also Burns a lot of oil. Is it just a badly worn piston and cylinder?

Maybe Take that block fill the gouge with JBweld hone it clean it JB weld a plexiglass back on it put in a good piston and rod assembly with a good crank and oil see what it looks like after 30 min then 1hr then 3hrs run times by pulling the head???

    Had two matching push mowers as a kid. A buddy and I went out to mow my yard, he was in the back yard and I was in the front yard. As I was mowing I heard a loud bang from the back yard and went to check on my buddy. The lawnmower had slung a rod right through the side of the block launching it through the air and through the side of a tin shed. Fortunately he was ok. Made sure to always check and change the oil regularly after that. I had always check it but I don't guess it had ever been changed.
