To me it looks like some plastic or paper got destroyed by the hot coolant shower. I took a coolant shower once and i imagine that's how my skin looked.

Looks like ice to me, could be just straight water in there, maybe it froze overnight, and wasn't getting heated by the engine. The rounded edges in the second picture look like it's slowly melting as the radiator absorbs heat from the shop.

It has been years of smooth sailing but it finally happened, catastrophic 4l60e failure on the dyno. The tranny was homebuilt (servo/shiftkit) by a college kid with no experience and it was a bagged truck so the shaft could very well have been damaged, not sure which one let go first but with a .6" lift cam and 3600 stall on a stock trans there's a lot of power and this vehicle has definitely been abused for years as it has been passed around the truck guys around here. THE TABLES ARE THE REAL MECHANICAL FAILURE HERE   (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Cakefool posted:The end of the rail shows a break, not a natural end. It froze, shrank, broke under tension. Thought Id add that this is called the ductile brittle transition temperature and not all materials exhibit a pronounced one like some steels do. In this case the lack of necking of the track indicates a failure for this reason likely combined with it being a rather high carbon steel or cast iron.

That cage was built with unbraced curves and other cage no-nos. I forget which thread discussed racing cages, but the biggest point was not having unbraced curves. I can't believe that that is a production cage made for money.

oh my god, are those hollow boxes made out of thin rear end sheetmetal "supporting" the cage? Why in gently caress aren't they plates? Please tell me the tube goes through the boxes, though it looks like it doesn't. Who would ever think that was even in the same universe as structurally sound?

That Japanese Death Cage scared me. It's like they added more metal to the car so you'll really need the jaws of life to get what's left of your corpse after the cage crushes down through the cute little cat boxes they have it mounted to. Also, that camshaft had to make one hellofa racket for awhile to have that much metal hosed up.

 So i guess now I know what happens when 120hp of tractor mounted slasher meets an immovable object... 1.5" Diameter shaft there. Pulled a scatter shield cover to check on an oil leak and found that.

I think it's safe to say that it's already broken, it's just hiding and waiting for a victim to remove a leg or two from.

Scary thing is that's been like that for at least an entire season of slashing- Something like 150 machine hours of munching up grass, sticks, small trees, rocks, small furry creatures etc. The slashers been worked HARD- Ive found sheared off 3/4" Grade 8.8 bolts on the spindles underneath it and then that to the shafts. Good thing is if it DID fail, it would just shear off and stop one the two blades spinning. Bad thing is that if one blade stops spinning, it will impact the OTHER blade (they're set 90 degrees opposed) and could shatter a boron steel blade and spit THAT out from under the thing. Or start a bushfire. One or the other.

I don't know why this turned out blue, might be because it was kind of dark, but I saw this cruising down the road this morning. She could barely keep it going straight and looked like she was strong-arming it the entire time.

Dog tracking like a mother

Reminds me of the Corsica I drove for about a year total. I knew the suspension was screwed given the huge zone of vague response around the center, but the wheel still mostly centered down the road. I didn't realize how bad it was until I watched them try to dyno it at the emissions station - without the rear wheels to counteract it, it would try to drive off of the rollers without 90 degrees of steering input.

Bovril Delight posted:Dog tracking like a mother That was the best shot I could get of it without crashing into oncoming traffic, I was trying to get a shot of it when you could see the entire front tyre going straight while the rear wheels were at least 45* to the right of them.

Wheel bearing failed in my KTM. At least one ball ended up between the steel wheel spacer and the aluminum hub. The insides you can see should be smooth, not grooved like it is.
