This is right up there with the Gun Porn, Hot wife/Girlfriend, funny NSFW pics, and what did you do with your XYZ threads!

My contribution: Sealed power piston 306. Had a money race so threw the 3.4 pulley on the D1SC and a 100 shot. Lol it was apparently too much.

Paid for the new 306, some new tires, lots of build beer, and had some left over with the winnings.

Mines was merely a pinch on the shoulder compare to everyone else's. But, here you are. Six out of eight were bent due to more boost than the stock rods can handle. And, I was able to drive back home.

Ya, if rod 8 didn't bend to the point that the bottom of the piston was touching the counter weight of the crank and making a bumping sound, I would have never knew anything was wrong.

Spraying a ~150 shot on a stock 2001 cobra which led to finally doing a built motor....

Comp Cams valve spring failure on the rebuilt motor which led to swapping in manley springs and titanium retainers...

This incident with the 4.10 gears led to a fully built rear with 4.56 now.

several failures that happens at work. these where on 3512 B and C model engines. cost about $250-$500k to rebuild one of these. when one of these rods goes through a block plate, you want to be faaar away. we normally have about 20 of these engines running at a time and there about 2 feet from each other.

Are these natural gas compressor station engines?

The ones up north in colder climates use natural gas the ones down south where I normally work use diesel. These are mobile high pressure pumping equipment. Theres another word for it which I rather not say.

Last year at TX2K, racing a TT coyote, I broke a Cobra Manley H beam in half. The ensuing fireball lit up the sky and made quite the oily mess.

Here is a 750hp rated Pro-motion tranny. This came apart with my 320rwhp monster at the time. Long story short. The secondary cluster shaft was shimmed wrong causing it not to go into gear at high rpms. Well I made sure on a pass that it went into 3rd. lol
