well i took the jeep today to a burnout contest to finish off the motor that was hurting, well got to the burnout and the motor and trans didnt want to cooperate. so out of frustration i put it on the trailer and stood on the throttle till it quit running. well it threw the oil freeze plug out the back of the motor and when we pulled the valve covers we found three missing pushrods and on really bent one, pulled the intake and found three broken lifters and a broken cam. just wondered who else has broke a cam. Mine is in three pieces in the motor. thought this was a accomplishment
i think we should have a show off board on here applaudd
applaudd broke off a piston skirt last summer because of a rattle in the engine so I replaced all 4 pistons.
The only time I've broken a cam is when a connecting rod said hello to it.
you are doing it all wrong it is suposed to blow in the mud hole not on the trailer!!!!!!
i don't understand being happy for breaking stuff. my object is to not break stuff so i don't gotta waste a ton of money to fix it. broken engine parts get expensive real quick. spending 700 bucks to upgrade because of a wiped out cam in my s10 engine
congrads!!!!!!!! job well done!!! ==np applaudd applaudd applaudd applaudd applaudd
nice job!!!
Good times were had by all.... LOL

what is the point in keeping $100 junkyard motors together. it is more fun blowing them up. when i build one i might be mad
oh yeah i broke a rod and two pistons also.. i did good
threw a rod right threw the side of my tractor block. hand honed the cylinder replaced rod,bearings,piston, rings, and jb welded the p00 out of the block...she still runs like a champ lol.
When I was in college I DESTROYED a 350 by stickin twin Chrystler 2.2 turbos on it. 18lbs of boost and 6000 rpms and the engine let loose. Broke the cam in several places, bent a couple rods and threw a rod through the block. The teacher wasn't too mad since it was a dyno mule that he had $25 into. It sure was fun tho!!
==roll way to go scott ==idunno ==wtf jeeppgal
I love to break p00.....way to go...you the man....if you dont break stuff your not wheeling hard enough!!!!!!!
i just pulled the motor out of my truck....1990 f150 with a 302. 250,000 miles on it....spun number 4 rod so bad there is a shoulder of about 1/8th of a inch on the journal, and the number 1 and 8 rods are really loose on the crank..........its seen better days

No more jeep jeep though I hear. Where'd it go? I'm also waiting for my 355 SBC to let go but it just doesn't seem to want to die yet. Give me more drive to build my BBC.
still got the jeep. dont know who said i got rid of it
Drove by the other day and didn't see it and bob said you traded it for a 4-wheeler
it is still in the garage. i had Micheal's quad
i tried to destroy the 350 in my 82 chevy that i swamped twice in my buddies pond. burned oil like crazy. zero oil pressure, sounded pretty bad but it still held 6200 rpm with no miss or anything. then it died. but it fired right back up so i put it to the flloor again and i could only get about 5700 rpm outta it. but it never blew i was kind of disappointed lol. maybe its a good thing cuz thats going ot be the motor im going ot eventually build unless i can find a cheap bbc to build for it
