Engine Blows

Post by Can Drive Soon »

I am going to repost this as it has seemed to dissapear. I was going through some videos that I have archived and I stumbled upon an old movie of a guy filling his Honda with water. You may ask "Filling what?" well the engine! They were doing burnouts and holding the engine at the redline between refilling the engine's crankcase with water after it steamed out. It ran for a good 6 minutes before it died but I still found it impressive. I have a movie buried on one of my hard drives of Jake doing an engine blow at Bug Jam somewhere.

So what usually constitutes an engine blow? Weakened springs? Chinese lifters?
