That's the dealership I work at. I didn't see the guy pulling the car in, but from what I could tell looking at it was that he hit the curb dead on at high speed, and broke the control arm and studs off, car got fixed and put back into service a week or so later.

Exploded the rear diff on the Defender at the rally this year. A spider gear decided to make a hasty exit out the back of the housing. What I get for trying to show off in front of photographers from 3 different magazines. I was so hoping for a cover shot finally. Who did get on that cover? My wife in our Classic. *sigh*

That's a job for a loving recovery strap. You need to not have any goddamn metal chunks at the end and for the strap to have some elasticity.

I've done that to 2-strokes by overheating them so much the piston swells and touches the cylinder wall. I've done some really horrible things to 2-strokes.

DefaultPeanut posted:No torque plate was used while finishing the cylinder, so the cylinder was not put under proper stresses, and cause minute undulations in the cylinder wall. When that happens, the undulations are usually more gradual in appearence and in a pattern that tends to correspond to the head bolts - my money's on insufficent cylinder clearance and/or overheating. Like the previous poster said, the piston just grows until it breaks through the oil film and galls against the cylinder wall.

I should have said more when I posted. I have also seen that predominantly in 2-stroke engines, as a result of the lack of a torque plate when boring / honing. As there was no plate, the material was able to "slouch" and bulge slightly, mainly around the head bolts. Like was said, when it overheats, that is the first thing (the bulged spots) to contact the piston when the film of oil is broken.

I also know what a siezed lower end sounds like as well. Those hot mags you'd replace your stock system with were pretty loving awesome.

The #1 piston from an old civic I owned with an H23A1 engine in it. I had been running a crappy Zex fogger nitrous kit on it through the intake with no additional fuel for about 3 months when this happened. This is the only picture I still have, it's like the piston is smiling.

Amazing. Really interesting to see how difficult it appeared to bring the thing to a stop when only one engine is available for reverse thrust. It looks like they had the thing cranked to the left when they touched down.

 Click here for the full 1024x683 image. wiring harness to the MAF sensor melted, so the ecu assumed airflow had been cut off, and therefore didn't need to inject any fuel.

bisticles posted:Amazing. Really interesting to see how difficult it appeared to bring the thing to a stop when only one engine is available for reverse thrust. It looks like they had the thing cranked to the left when they touched down. You can google RTO procedures where they get the plane at max weight to takeoff speed and then use ONLY the brakes to stop. That is "difficult" to stop (the brakes will catch fire, tires explode, etc - but the plane has to be able to sit/taxi for 5 minutes without having a major fire), this plane could have stopped faster - but the pilot knew once they were on the ground there was no real danger - just wanted to stop the plane nice and easy - knowing it would be best to taxi clear of the runway as well.

That is "difficult" to stop (the brakes will catch fire, tires explode, etc - but the plane has to be able to sit/taxi for 5 minutes without having a major fire) Actually, the brakes shouldn't catch fire, and aircraft tires really don't blow up. When that test is done, the brakes will be glowing white hot, and there may be some grease briefly burning off, but the brakes and wheels aren't actually on fire. Large aircraft tires are normally fitted with fusible plugs that melt at a certain temperature to deflate the tires in a controlled manner, since the tires are inflated to around 200PSI, which makes a blowout insanely dangerous. Here's the video of a 777 doing a rejected takeoff during certification in the 1990's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXpjBxD0Rhg

azflyboy posted:Actually, the brakes shouldn't catch fire, and aircraft tires really don't blow up. I know that the brakes (which are carbon, metal, etc) do not literally catch on fire. But there would very likely have been small fires at the wheels if it was truly a STOP AS FAST AS POSSIBLE kind of thing. It wasn't. It was not a huge deal and there was no reason to try to stop SO fast. And yeah, explode was a hyperbole. As soon as they lose pressure though, they end up shredding to bits (usually still attached though).

Hahaha that was awesome. They were playing it so cool for a while there then get abandoned by ground control while their plane is on fire. Maybe SOMEONE should have learnt how to use the slide.
