Make a coffee table out of the blown block! Just strip it all the way down to the bare block, get it cleaned, whip up some legs bolted on the motor mounts, add some tempered glass resting on the upper cylinder head studs. Then, maybe some subtle lighting under the block so you can see through. You'll have an ultimate trophy of your day out with Uncle Sam.
I love this channel and comment section. Mostly Every person is helping each other learn, help fix, give advice or cracking some good jokes. Rare to find a good comment section but i know it is because you are a very genuine and kind person who honestly wants to help. Thank you & God Bless
@Mantvydas Pigass they do, they stopped releasing free content on TH-cam a long time ago. For a while you would get an episode a month after it was released on motor trend. Those days are gone.
I love that your ome of the only TH-camrs that says thank you for watching and god bless you love that keep up the awsome video's i cant wait for the next one to come out
Jeremy is a genuine gentleman. Everyone in this shop is down to earth, it's what makes all the content such a pleasure to watch. Keep on rocking brothers.
I highly doubt theyre coming back. Least not in this lifetime! IM sure the H1B's over @ gm's powertrain development are like DAAAANG sumthin' goo Boom!
I'd like to add that I always enjoy the doggo clips at the ends of these videos. Even with a "bad news" video the endings always cheer me up. Thumbs up!
That was a cool video! It was fun watching you walk through places I saw 30 years ago! The complete keyhole all the way through has to be one of the top trophy goals of a lifetime. Before you throw it back together, be sure to balance the crack/rods. Basically, weigh the rods/pistons and make sure they are all the same weight.
I think most of the Statesman & caprice got the L77 engines (Mexican blocks) when they left the Holden factory. As they liked the bigger cars to have the AFM mode to save fuel. None of this matters anymore as that block can now be melted down and turned into Mountain Dew cans....
Our old HQ had a 253 in it when it dropped a piston through the engine block... we still drove her 30kms home using 12 lts of oil, blowing a ton of smoke and all our hopes and dreams.
@Jed Lawson Yeah if the ring gets hot and expands too much the gap will close, the ends will touch and the rings will bind in the bore. Then the wrist pin just yanks out of the bottom of the piston.
@@CharlieBrown-pb9xn Its possible the piston just failed. The rings binding was my guess because that's usually what happens when it leaves the piston sitting at the top of the bore like that. Just speculation is all haha
Spitting out the oil filter was a pretty good sign it wasn't going to be pretty. Uncle Sam will come back better than ever, just stay away from McFarland Machining.
Back in the ‘60s, there were many oil sponsors in Champ Car. “Magneto failure” happened surprisingly often. This was a euphemism for a rod came out and knocked the mag off. You simply had an oil filter failure. 😎

@@Fasterproms1 Awesome! I do testing in the lab. Next time you send in a sample write or decorate stuff on the side of the sample bottle. Keep up the videos man!
Yup, better pistons. Pull the ones that looked good from the top. Usually power adder pistons have a lower first ring is used to keep it cooler and resist the det-the-nation knocking. Heck, you may have bound the top ring gap #8 and sent the carnage into motion. Next, on the list. Degree YDC on every cylinder. I have seen high compression, power added, and stock engines have twisted crankpins. We had a M/T stroker crank (used) that broke #4 by the 60' mark. Number 3 build, I just mocked up the rotating assembly. Number 3&4 were off a few degrees. A bit of offset crankpin grinding and a balance job fixed it. Take care from Oklahoma, Mike and Vee
OK lots of comments about kids. How do you think boys learn to become men? I grew up with my father tearing apart just about anything you can imagine. Building, construction, engines... I learned how to fix it with and from my father. Today as an engineer, by far the greatest source of knowledge is my memories of those times. Along the way my dad managed to teach me about pride in work, a work ethic, morals and so much more. So NO... keep the young man there. Let him get greasy and oily and learn how to both be a man and a mechanic. Maybe... just maybe not let him get under an engine on a hoist. Other than that... do exactly what you are and God bless.

I'd always wondered what an LS V6 would look like, but damn what a hell of a way to get there! I'm liking @Millhouse_Tuned 's hypothesis that one of the piston rings, probably #8's, overheated and closed gap, seizing in the bore, and then the #8 rod yanked the wrist pin through the piston. I'm wanting to think then that #8 rod and wrist pin, now flailing around freely in the bore then knocked that big, nice dent in said bore, breaking same rod in the process and that's REALLY when all Hell broke lose to window the block, take out #7 rod, wrist pin, and piston, and spit the oil filter off before locking up completely.
It could just be because the car was used for patrol and didn't have the best service history before you got it. I'd bet it was oil delivery related at some point.
I've been told they don't always get to their oil changes on time and they don't always get the best oil either but maby it isn't that common, idk. Officer 401 on TH-cam talked about it once I do agree pat, I think the ring gap caused the piston to crack when it overheated from lack of oil
Ring gap makes sense. I guess it depends what city the cars from when it comes to maintenance. I have seen crown vic's in Detroit in service with paint peeling and rusted out. Could be.
@@Kenzo-bp1zs idling behind a sign for months means that the engine was always overdue for service, when it got serviced. (if that was the role this police vehicle played.)
@Fasterproms Did you guys ever gap the rings in this block? Its been so long I can't remember. If not, then the compression ring on cyl8 got to hot and swelled the gap shut, setting that number 8 piston off like a grenade. Sometimes a portion of the piston will stay attached to the rod, if one of the broken chunks happens to remain above the section still somewhat attached to the rod and that then attempts to cycle back to TDC (spinning at 4-6k rpm) you can imagine the carnage it produces. (I guess you don't really have to imagine lol). Regardless, I love the content you guys provide and I know Uncle Sam will see his 9 in the near future! Good luck guys!
the funny thing is that before winter i have a 1970s 544-A john deer loader that threw #5 piston but we got lucky and didn't damage any coolant ports. now time to rebuild the engine and bronze on a new plate to cover the hole in the block
time for an aussie barra motor ,do something nobody else has done, I double dare you ,2000hp 10,000 rpm strait 6 engine ,seems that you guys don't need eight pistons anyway,lol
It’s so nice going a few days not watching the uploads and then watching them all in order at once. I saw Uncle Sam blow up and be torn apart within 20 minutes
What we have here is a failure to communicate. The connecting rod attempted sharing space with the now liberated piston, which in turn encroached on the area maintained by the cylinder wall and engine block, That crank is going to be more twisted than the Starbucks ex-CEO Schultz wanting to run for president. Stick a fork in it, she's done.
On locked up motors I have had some success getting them to roll over by dropping the pan and loosening the mains and rod caps. Doesnt work every time, but when it does its a huge help. You guys probably already knew this though. Anyways, love what you guys are doing.

Jeremy, your kids are fast learners. Inspecting car with locked up motor: Check tailpipe first, yeah it contains bits of piston ring. LOL, great entertainment! Thanks for another awesome show! Kind regards to the Mountain team! Duncan, South Africa
Rods and wrist pins don't get loose until after pistons quit supporting them. Valves appeared to be in tact so they didn't break the piston. Did the big end of the rods seize on the crank and overload the pistons? Hypereutecic pistons are brittle as hell. I'd be looking at the remaining pistons and bearings to see if they tell a story. Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing.
exact same thing happend to one of my customers car it was a caprice too..but the engine broke at 320 kph and the oil gallary on the block had been smashed and i got it welded up from a machine shop and now it has no issues going past 320kph and i installed forged rods
I normally hate the TH-cam SS (Safety Sam's/Sally's) but having seen a little boy get injured and his dog killed when the hydraulic cylinder fail I totally agree. I think any shop that R&R engines on a regular basis should invest in buying or building a A-Frame to use along with a chain-fall as a engine puller. Not only are they safer but they make pulling or installing engines far easier.
@@seanmacdonald1587 I found the best way is to just get the crossmembers (engine & trans) off and lift the car up = engine and trans is on the ground, pull it out from under the car, separate the two, lift the engine up, put it on a stand, then do what needs doing :) No lifting engines up from over cars flip flopping around totally stressed out getting one tool after another hitting heads on sharp edges etc, as safe as can be!
Every family has its own characteristic level of risk it will tolerate. I am sure there are other parents out there who would disapprove of certain risks who allow your kids to take. Or are your kids being raised in a risk-free environment?
@@danmart1879 I think you're implying my comment was judgmental, when it wasn't.. The body language of every adult in the video (standing back reluctantly puting their hands under) tells me it's not a risk they're willing to accept. Kids move fast, and unfortunately don't always understand that risk... I dropped a 350 small block from that height because of a failed lift point and same single chain method they're using... Crushed my hoist and chipped the concrete in my garage... Your logic doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. I'm sure there are plenty of off camera safety conversations.
Love seeing the videos and please keep them coming. The guys at your shop remind me of 'The Shop Next Door' and their after hours shenanigans at the track. On a side note, are we getting another trip to the junk yard video?
Air raided that block nicely! Cooper looks like an awesome kid but you he made me nervous when he was under the engine while spinning it on the hoist. You never know when cast Aluminium is gonna give.
Thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole! I'm curious as to whether these materials are interchangeable from a production cost perspective? I admit that I'm ignorant with respect to manufacturing, but I would imagine that the cost of hypereutectic materials are dramatically reduced as a function of being able to use powdered metallurgy for manufacture. For OEMs, is forging aluminum a viable option?
@@ChrisDR I believe the reason the factory uses hypereutectic is because they fit the cylinder wall a little closer and expand less than forged pistons and are quieter. They are quite strong but are not intended for 1000 hp. Forged will rattle or slap a little when cold, but are significantly stronger.
@@bonzainews Thanks for the quick reply. I had to guess that it would have be more than just production cost. The thermal expansion differential makes sense to me. In your case, since you prefer forged materials, how does using a cast aluminum material effect tolerance up front and decisions for rings? How do you choose what material to use for cylinder sleeves?
@@ChrisDR you might want to consult an engineer or a professional engine builder on that one. Cast aluminum is the weakest and forged is the strongest for consumers. hypereutectic is a good compromise. As far as cylinder liners go most people use the factory ones. If you need to go pass that you had better consult a professional engine builder. Don't take advice from clowns like me on the internet.
You'll have it back up and running in a week or two. Plenty of time!! Have a great week. Please check over everything with the replacement if it's used before installing it. And you may as well go ahead and do the stick swap while it's all out if the car.
Hairline fracture in the piston that went unnoticed until finally the high revs of the last brunout vibrated it apart? Glorious carnage. "My favourite kind of testing is the destructive kind"
Nasty!!! JB Weld and you'll be fine. Wondering if you had those rods shot-peened before using them in your racer? I got an original LS1 (from a '98 Camaro) given to me in boxes (hence the "gift") and when rebuilding it, the first thing I did was have the rods magna-fluxed (found two bad rods) and shot-peened for strength. I dressed and polished the rods, as well, cause I could and it was my car. That engine turns 7K RPMs, regularly and has had no issues . . . so far. lol
Chevy LS go BOOM! That must have been a "PSE" engine..."Parts Scattered Everywhere" Looking around on YT you can find several of these junkyard LS engines that have self-destructed. It seems to be a common happening, I wonder what is failing first and what might you do to help prevent it other than a full rebuild with aftermarket parts? Repairing a hole in a block? I used to work on large diesel generating engines. If they were damaged they repaired those blocks with a process called "metal stitching" where large chunks of new metal were held in place by tens, hundreds or even thousands of special bolts that were drilled and tapped into the block and repair piece in an overlapping pattern. Not sure that would be feasible or even possible on an engine this small, but it can be done on larger engines. Of course, if it's an aluminum block, then it could possibly be welded up and re-machined.
As quickly as all that rotating mass stopped, I knew it was going to be bad...Really Bad... It's funny I was thinking "your going to need a bigger pan" (or BUCKET) for the parts right before Laz asked if you wanted a bucket😁😢 @8:28 is the 1st time you can see light coming all the way through the block...lol...
My first thought is that it was a cop car, without 4 corner steam ports. Cop cars sit with the ac running continuously all summer, much of the time standing still. The number 7/8 cylindersran hotter, rings touched and split the piston in #7

exact same thing happend to one of my customers car it was a caprice too..but the engine broke at 320 kph and the oil gallary on the block had been smashed and i got it welded up from a machine shop and now it has no issues going past 320kph and i installed forged rods
As a father of 3 who pulls motors often, I absolutely cringe when I see the kid repeatedly going under the hanging engine...
I normally hate the TH-cam SS (Safety Sam's/Sally's) but having seen a little boy get injured and his dog killed when the hydraulic cylinder fail I totally agree. I think any shop that R&R engines on a regular basis should invest in buying or building a A-Frame to use along with a chain-fall as a engine puller. Not only are they safer but they make pulling or installing engines far easier.
@@seanmacdonald1587 I found the best way is to just get the crossmembers (engine & trans) off and lift the car up = engine and trans is on the ground, pull it out from under the car, separate the two, lift the engine up, put it on a stand, then do what needs doing :)
No lifting engines up from over cars flip flopping around totally stressed out getting one tool after another hitting heads on sharp edges etc, as safe as can be!
Every family has its own characteristic level of risk it will tolerate. I am sure there are other parents out there who would disapprove of certain risks who allow your kids to take. Or are your kids being raised in a risk-free environment?
@@danmart1879 I think you're implying my comment was judgmental, when it wasn't.. The body language of every adult in the video (standing back reluctantly puting their hands under) tells me it's not a risk they're willing to accept. Kids move fast, and unfortunately don't always understand that risk... I dropped a 350 small block from that height because of a failed lift point and same single chain method they're using... Crushed my hoist and chipped the concrete in my garage... Your logic doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. I'm sure there are plenty of off camera safety conversations.
no sht!! right man? I was thinking the same exact thing. these guys should know better as well
Love seeing the videos and please keep them coming. The guys at your shop remind me of 'The Shop Next Door' and their after hours shenanigans at the track. On a side note, are we getting another trip to the junk yard video?
Slap some jb weld and ur good
Air raided that block nicely! Cooper looks like an awesome kid but you he made me nervous when he was under the engine while spinning it on the hoist. You never know when cast Aluminium is gonna give.
Didn't wanna say nothing but I don't even feel safe under a engine hoist and I'm 40, very unsafe
8 6 4 Cadillac the hard way.
Or a 231 lol
Connecting Rod failure, the tune looks perfect. Good job Sir.
That’s not a window that’s a sliding door
Great video. Love that you have your son around.
Hypereutectic pistons. Not my favorite. I like myself some forged aluminum...
Thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole! I'm curious as to whether these materials are interchangeable from a production cost perspective? I admit that I'm ignorant with respect to manufacturing, but I would imagine that the cost of hypereutectic materials are dramatically reduced as a function of being able to use powdered metallurgy for manufacture. For OEMs, is forging aluminum a viable option?
@@ChrisDR I believe the reason the factory uses hypereutectic is because they fit the cylinder wall a little closer and expand less than forged pistons and are quieter. They are quite strong but are not intended for 1000 hp. Forged will rattle or slap a little when cold, but are significantly stronger.
@@bonzainews Thanks for the quick reply. I had to guess that it would have be more than just production cost. The thermal expansion differential makes sense to me. In your case, since you prefer forged materials, how does using a cast aluminum material effect tolerance up front and decisions for rings? How do you choose what material to use for cylinder sleeves?
@@ChrisDR you might want to consult an engineer or a professional engine builder on that one. Cast aluminum is the weakest and forged is the strongest for consumers. hypereutectic is a good compromise. As far as cylinder liners go most people use the factory ones. If you need to go pass that you had better consult a professional engine builder. Don't take advice from clowns like me on the internet.
@@bonzainews You're no clown, thanks for the feedback!
Damn! Looking forward to your videos! Veteran Anderson.
save the block for ruby
You'll have it back up and running in a week or two. Plenty of time!!
Have a great week. Please check over everything with the replacement if it's used before installing it. And you may as well go ahead and do the stick swap while it's all out if the car.
Notification squad sound off
Hairline fracture in the piston that went unnoticed until finally the high revs of the last brunout vibrated it apart? Glorious carnage. "My favourite kind of testing is the destructive kind"
how to make a V6 - the hard way
McFarland Fabrication can probably weld that block back together. 😂😂
Borrow Leroy's fresh engine to do a pass down the 1/4 mile :p
U uh my ti
Well dang. That's gnarly. This engine went out full force.
Soo sad but thats racing right? You have a great attitude and positive outlook on life! The dogs at the end are always a treat for my wife and me!
Wow I love this Build can't wait for it to get back together
Thank you for sharing what is the worst destruction to an engine i have ever seen.kudos to you.
Nasty!!! JB Weld and you'll be fine. Wondering if you had those rods shot-peened before using them in your racer? I got an original LS1 (from a '98 Camaro) given to me in boxes (hence the "gift") and when rebuilding it, the first thing I did was have the rods magna-fluxed (found two bad rods) and shot-peened for strength. I dressed and polished the rods, as well, cause I could and it was my car. That engine turns 7K RPMs, regularly and has had no issues . . . so far. lol
Great videos Jeremy keep up the good work. You and cleetus are the only people i watch religiously.
Window behind the starter, right where Mott (Sloppy Mechanic) says it will happen. Can't wait to see you get it back together.
Chevy LS go BOOM! That must have been a "PSE" engine..."Parts Scattered Everywhere"
Looking around on YT you can find several of these junkyard LS engines that have self-destructed. It seems to be a common happening, I wonder what is failing first and what might you do to help prevent it other than a full rebuild with aftermarket parts?
Repairing a hole in a block? I used to work on large diesel generating engines. If they were damaged they repaired those blocks with a process called "metal stitching" where large chunks of new metal were held in place by tens, hundreds or even thousands of special bolts that were drilled and tapped into the block and repair piece in an overlapping pattern. Not sure that would be feasible or even possible on an engine this small, but it can be done on larger engines. Of course, if it's an aluminum block, then it could possibly be welded up and re-machined.
The sparks out the tailpipe were a nice touch at 0:28
That's what ya call going out with a BANG!! SEND IT
That was impressive! I’d love to see the block and heads made into a table with the debris cast into a resin table top 😎
a little Duct Tape and touch up paint.. and its golden.. 😂.
great sense of humor guys...
i probably woulda blown a gasket 😣😉lol
As quickly as all that rotating mass stopped, I knew it was going to be bad...Really Bad...
It's funny I was thinking "your going to need a bigger pan" (or BUCKET) for the parts right before Laz asked if you wanted a bucket😁😢
@8:28 is the 1st time you can see light coming all the way through the block...lol...
My first thought is that it was a cop car, without 4 corner steam ports. Cop cars sit with the ac running continuously all summer, much of the time standing still. The number 7/8 cylindersran hotter, rings touched and split the piston in #7
This would make a perfect coffee table for the workshop or a give away for a fan
Always love the pups at the end! HAH!
Great carnage Video Catastrophic Failure. Thanks for the damage visual
