Rodder's Roundtable / Worst blown engine
April 24, 2006, 03:02:29 PM
We were street racing a big block Chevy when I was in the Marines.
396 Punched 40 over --dual quads -- headers -- cam-- solids...etc. Runing av-gas in it.
Soem of the guys were doing some maintenance and lost the head bolts. Sent a guy out to buy some.
The clown went to the local ACE hardware store and bought some soft steel bolts and put them in without telling us where he got them...
Blew the head clean off.....thru the hood and across a street during a race that night. Bolts and pushrods were flying like shrapnel.
No one got hurt UNTIL we found out what happened.
