As an Aussie, who is so enthralled with watching your vids Steve, it's so pleasing to see a billet Barra being manufactured in your shop! Such a cult following over here so can't wait to hear more about yours!
His videos just proved the motor was not annihilated. You should look up the definition of annihilate. Now, if you said the rods were annihilated, that would actually work.
For reals! Always blew my tiny mind the top fuel guys welded sections back in, which made perfect sense once the obvious was explained. The labor welding a broken chunk back into a better block far outweighs a new billet block, durp. I should have seen that solution way ahead of time. Either way, stoked to see the process
With regards to welding the pan rail/ crankcase walls: are you going to bolt the main caps back in and torque them before you start welding them back up? How do you plan on straightening the pan rail?
Nice Col Steve Austin reference! Holy crap, Batman - 110s? !!! Can't wait to see the metallurgical report on the rods ! A lot of us a very curious to learn more from the master engineer builder on the root cause failure.
Less than two weeks ago, Steve was showing us the most engine damage he had ever seen. After that, it’s all “looks good… Looks good… That’s cosmetic… that has no bearing.. doesn’t matter” I gotta say I’m very impressed, takes a licking and keeps on ticking
I'm kind of curious if part of why the engine isn't scrap below the intake is because the rods shattered all at once and fell in the pan instead of intact rods throwing chunks around
Fascinating testimony to the quality of your products. The video reminded me of something my original bowling pro shop entrepreneur once told me about my first $200+ bowling ball (custom drilled). I practicing with my ball and found a couple of gouges. I took it to the pro shop to ask him about my possible having the bowling center pay to have him repair the damage their pin setter machine did to my bowl. The pro shop man told me there were two reasons for advising me not to take my custom drilled bowling ball to the center's front desk to file the paperwork for their employee (s) to pay him to repair the damage. First, the damage was not in the track path where my ball rolls on the lanes. That means the damage would not alter the way that ball rolls to the pins. Second, that man guaranteed me the shallow depth of the damage would directly cause the plastic resin to fall out of the pits that were in that bowling ball on that day. I anticipate you saying this rocket scientist's story is totally irrelevant to a drag racing engine. Before calling me out on my bowling ball story, your reasons for using the words "cosmetic damage" to describe certain spots on both the crank shaft and engine short block are the points of relevance. The bare basic points you talked about are not mutually exclusive of my little story- critical thinkinking dude. You elegantly stated the fact that certain points of damage in both the crank will not adversely affect the mechanical performance qualities of this drag racing power plant. That bowling pro shop entrepreneur told me something similar that applied to my concerns about the mechanical performance of my custom drilled reactive resin (outer cover stock of ) bowling ball.
That crank on the table standing up was making me nervous 😧. Would suck to survive all that carnage to get bumped off the table 😁. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your engines are works of art 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My dad was a Crank Grinder machinest for about 15 years. He was the go-to guy in our area when aftermarket cranks just weren't available as they are today.... I am going to send this to him and see what he thinks. I suspect he would say run it lol.....
If your pappy disagrees...... it will tell me that he didn't Learn much in 15 years.. You can even have dings on the bearing surface, as long as they arnt proud they will just hold oil. No different than a oil gal hole.
I'm only 1:26 into this vid, and i had to comment.....ur crankshaft guy is STUPENDOUS, i mean those journals are SO pretty.......nice, radiused, nice fillets, and nice countersunk oil passages.......i mean its a thing of BEAUTY!!!....Steve, this dude is good!!.....I'm a sucker for a pretty crank......the dings are NOTHIN, if its strait, and journals are clean, R&R!!!........SUPER quality work, from what i'm seein, ok, got lots more to watch..
The man puts out a hell of a product ,just to stop and think this engine had a catastrophic failure, put a valve in head 8 new rods,pistons,bearings,little welding, sleeves ,windmills , push rod, fuel lets go racing 🤘. Little LS
The realistic approach at functional and "fashionable" imperfections is something to be appreciated. This "instagram era" of engine building we live in now is all about criticizing parts/engines with imperfections, whether it is a functional flaw or not..

Barra engines are awesome I’ve had a couple myself and build a quite a few I’m looking forward to that engine build Great videos cherz from New Zealand
Really cool to see you fix it, when in all reality you are the perfect person to throw another piece of billet in the machine to create a new one easily.
I hope by now that rod material has a recall on it. Your design and material beat the shit out of it to hell and gone. This has been some of the most fascinating content to watch, Steve. I wouldn't wish that catastrophic failure on anyone. The fact that you've got this exposure means so many people will be inspired by your thoughtfulness and knowledge. It's a win for us. Hopefully the $ comes back in sales and merch and stuff.
I'm still amazed at it taking out all eight rods and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but it does give us (your viewers) an awesome explanation on what happened and what to do by the one person I would want to explain it to me. Be Blessed and Be Safe 😇
This has to be one of the oddest blown engines of all time. So much carnage, yet at the same time very little damage. I have only ever had one engine break multiple rods. It looked like a bomb went off in it. Most of it exited what was left of the block, in basically every direction as well. There was so much damage I have no clue what broke first in that engine and it still amazes me that so much of this SMX is reusable.
Preplanned for breakage when he designed it so it could be repaired easily, as much as they cost to make and what they are used for you have to plan for breakage in the design......im sure nobody would have ever expected all 8 rods to shatter like that though lol...
@@young11984 theres a lot more going on than that, sure the block has windows for the rods but you cannot really control engine failures like this reliably.
Friends, I just love saving and rebuilding what ever we can! Even if what I have is not real nice, I fix it up, so it is the best I have, and it is mine. It builds character! Thank you
Ok a old swedish machinist mechanic I worked with. .in Cummins' we would run a quick welding bead inside the cylinder liner that would shrink the liners and we could literally lift them out.

Well Oscar Goldman......you make it all sound so easy. I bet you aren't anywhere near 6 mil when it's all said and done either. Steve Austin commends you on your abilities. I look forward to the upcoming fix videos. You have a very informative channel sir. I will never use what I soak up, but it's still nice to learn from you.
I've seen several T/AD blocks that had been windowed more than once. The wisdom of splay bolting the mains really shows. Show me another water-cooled block that suffered this much damage without ever loosing coolant. I'm relieved one of the rod shards didn't puncture a slick.
It is a shame testing new rods out happened however when you try new stuff I would call it R&D. Glad most of the rest of the bits were okay. Build, race, break, repeat.
great ta see you save the block ,,, as ya said most the damage is just cosmetic ,,, from what i see i total agree the crank is fine ,,, the block only needs minor repair and she will be rolling again ,,, that was biggest rod failure i have ever seen ,,, with the least damage in like history WOW amazing stuff Steve ,,, not 1 rod survived ,,, WTF right ,,, tony
Glad to hear everything can be saved would have been nice if that would have never happened but at least you can put it back together and maybe do a few things that you want to do extra I will definitely be watching the build thanks for sharing it with us stay safe

Loving this content from the first rebuild to this absolute carnage of a failure, i really enjoy the technical insight seeing these high HP engines being built and the process behind it. Keep up the great content
Scares me to see the crank standing up on that roll around cart. 🫣 We toured a rebuild shop in highschool. About 30 finished cranks were standing on the floor where we were standing, listening to our guide. One guy accidently bumped into one and the domino effect immediately began. 😱 I don't know if they did any more shop tours after that. Another great video. Glad everything can be saved.
All rods shatter like glass and the only damage is completely repairable to basically the exact same integrity the engine started with, OUTSTANDING! Good for you, brother. Now go put Bailey on the trailer. 😎

Really looking forward to the welding process on the block!
A lot easier repairing alloy.
Yes! The welding and machining to bring that block back to life will be both informative and fascinating to watch. Looking forward to it!

Steve, I’m 64 & been around racing for years. Your videos, along with your logic, is SO welcomed & refreshing. Thanks for sharing your work 👍
Now thats what I'm talking about. Vaporizes 8 rods, repairs and remachines block,puts more turbo on. That's doing it right.
Less than two weeks ago, Steve was showing us the most engine damage he had ever seen. After that, it’s all “looks good… Looks good… That’s cosmetic… that has no bearing.. doesn’t matter”

It’s fascinating to learn what’s repairable. I would have thought nearly everything was scrap.
I'm still amazed at how much of that engine is saveable after 8 grenades going off inside it
I'm kind of curious if part of why the engine isn't scrap below the intake is because the rods shattered all at once and fell in the pan instead of intact rods throwing chunks around
@@mattbradshaw6456 In this case, the rods shattering was a good thing.. Rather than one massive chunk failure on 1 or 2 rods.
