Rod material failure, absolutely. It would be money well spent to have a metallurgist look at the microstructure of the material to determine a root cause and fix it. Attaching a "Blame" name to stuff like this is useless and counterproductive. I'm with you on this one Steve.
@sirslacks1065Рік тому
Agree 100%. I was going to say something very similar but thought I would read through some posts first. It came to the ultimate maximum capabilities of the material and I think they all disintegrated at the same time since they were of the same batch under the same heat and pressure. They were definitely brittle.
@Bignardo18Рік тому
Im thinking that as well
@skullhartРік тому
Brittle for sure. Check the ductility or lack thereof against the base material. Aluminum could be affected by work hardening like aggressive machining. The consistency of the failure points to origin of material and/or machining.

@@sirslacks1065 I 99% agree with you. There is one thing that bothers me though. I am sure that engine saw 8500rpm+ on his dyno with likely more than 45lbs boost! All was good and into the car it went. Then, this was the sixth run (I believe he said) on the track, so 8500rpm and track loads were around on prior runs before it blew. Boost was 45lbs. What kind of 'new' evil would enter the engine and trigger 'that' carnage at 'that' exact point in 'that' run?? I believe there will be a lot of guessing and testing (weeping and gnashing of teeth!) before this crash will ever be explained!!..........

Such a learning experience for me.

@@Sm0keyZeu5 anodising is a process that just treats the surface of the material. Doesn’t involve heating it up, much less heating and quenching that could cause it to become brittle. I could very well be wrong, I don’t know what, if any, treatments that where done to the rods. But seeing all the shattered bits in the oil pan while most all the pistons were still up in the bores, it seriously looks like the rods were made of a "hypereutectic” grade of aluminium. Shattered like ceramic aside from a few large pieces. Crazy.

@michaelmartinez1345Рік тому
@Alex Good, Yes , the rod journals Do look decent and it appears that there was no bearing failure.... But the real issue was caused by repetitive use of those aluminum rods... They fatigue rather quickly... That pile of aluminum chips at the bottom of the pan was the smoking gun of what really happened..... Those rods, all of them, broke like a glass being dropped on the concrete.... That's metal fatigue... The dark grey color of the jagged chips of chrystalised aluminum indicates that these rods are strictly for temporary use, especially when they are being loaded at the levels they are, and at extreme rpm's .... Only forged steel rods should be used in applications like this... He should also have that $5k crankshaft magna-fluxed.... Just to be sure... An extremely expensive hobby this is... Wow...

I once lost two pistons on a burnout after a massive coolant leak into two of the cylinders, but that was absolutely nothing, after all I had a 4 banger. Compared to this of course it was a day in the park 😁I am just amazed by the total annihilation of this engine. Only thing I can think of is material weakness and the drop of rpm during shift obviously set it all off. Love your channel Mr Morris. Much love from Norway

You get a thumbs up for attitude Steve. I just had a major break this week. Not an engine. I stayed chill phoned the guy who built it. I said sorry to tell you mate but the shaft broke. He was gutted. I knew he would be. He was more proud of the machine than me and it lasted 2hrs from brand new. Anyhow together we come up with with a great plan to up grade it. It will cost me a bit more as it should but he is fronting the bulk of it. In the end my company will have the only bit of kit like it. Life is as nard as you make it.

Thanks for the Video. I appreciate you showing what happened. I was amazed to see the crank without a rod on it. That has to be the first time I have ever seen that. I also appreciate your response about the rods, it would be easy to point fingers, but it takes a stand up guy to realize stuff happens. It’s part of the game when your pushing the limits of the materials your working with. Big Fan. Thanks

That's pretty cool of you to have the outlook you have about the situation. Most people wouldn't be big enough to do so. Much respect.

Your business ethics are very parallel to mine, and there are very few of us left. I've been in the IT supply business 19 years and have fought off Fortune 100 competitors with honesty and integrity. It is obvious you love your job and love your customers...don't every change that. You are awesome!

Steve, thanks for sharing all this with us, and even more, for showing us what it is to be a good person.

Thank you Steve. Seeing you pull the drip tray and your reaction was unreal. I could feel you staring at holes in the pan. This level of destruction is hard to believe. Please show the disassembly. You are a patient and fair man. God bless.

You are a class act Steve! I give you so much credit for trying not to curse. The "I'm not a jerkoff" statement was priceless 🤣 5.90's Let's GO! 👍

Wow, I am just as lost for words as you are. Complete devastation and totally rare to have all 8 rods go at the same time. 8500 rpm and 4000 hp, 40 pounds of boost may require a rod made from a material off an alien planet…… Love your work Steve. Cheers Cammy 🇦🇺
@thejo6331Рік тому
truly incredible work Steve! It completely obliterated them! And you're totally right, no matter what kind of engineering you're doing, stuff's going to break.
@GaveLJorgenssonРік тому
I can only imagine the stress and pressure inside of something like that! I really appreciate how you are taking all of this, to be honest. Hopefully this will all help with tweaking some things here and there...hardening/temper on the rods or whatever it happens to be.
@thephilpott2194Рік тому
Yep. Bad batch of rods. The problem now is finding any others...before they find their way out..!

Hello Hello From Canada!! WOW I have never seen any rod failure like that. The pistons look like they are suspended in similar spots. If I was an engine pathologist it looks like you got to a certain boost and after each cylinder fired the rods disintegrated one after the other. The rods were probably heat treated incorrectly so they were so brittle, they just shattered after they reached their max load. That is probably a one in a million situation Steve and I would love to buy a piece of that to hang on a key chain. I hope you have much better luck in your future builds. I am so glad the motor didn't seize but more important, you are safe, sound, ready and able to race another day. 🙂

This has quickly become my favorite channel! I wish I could afford one of your engines. But I appreciate what you’ve shown us and I’m definitely using the knowledge. Shirt order coming your way for sure
@philstevens8950Рік тому
Simply mind-blowing event!!! You handled this event in a way that very few others could. I'm sure your still trying to get your head around what the hell happened. You have my utmost respect for your ability to stay calm, maybe your still in shock like soany viewers. Best of luck in the future and thanks for the honest videos.
@danielsacks7152Рік тому
Understatement of the year, "this is a failure!" OH for an internal slow mo view! Seen hundreds of blown motors but none that shucked all 8 rods without pushing the crank out! Heck, even if you happen to run over your crankshaft there's usually a couple rods standing on it to flip you the bird!
@herbslusher4409Рік тому
Bin around this stuff 60years have NEVER seen a blow up this bad. Your a good man.
@Tommyd2059Рік тому
Wow! Thanks for going through and showing us all the carnage. It was amazing. Never seen rods do that before either. Look forward to hearing the results of the investigation. Really good video. Thank again!
@clydecarlson5358Рік тому
Well done sharing your faith at a point where many of us would have been highly stressed and upset. You can tell a lot about a man based on how he reacts to difficult circumstances. Build-back-better. We'll see you back soon.

When that oil pan catch tray came out I was like I thought he said there was an oil pan above this not a windage tray 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have been around a lot of mechanical everything. Not pointing fingers, But what are all the heat treat specs. On the crankshaft. Cleeters also. But you never know where your next weakpoint is going to be. Lots of 🐎. You and the Cleetus crew are the beep. Love you guys! And Ste e you've got me wanting to build a 1996 Caprice Wagon. Yours is Badass. Your car and Mullett are my favorites. what's the saying If you ain't bending you ain't sending. Thanks for your through assemblies and disassembles. I have the Fever !!!
