[budnate]

motor blew big time on the dyno, tossed the head off the block... kinda looks like a 12V.

53 block...

WOW! Sorry man.

I wonder how many HP it was making when it blew. Kinda started sounding sick a few seconds before destruction. Interesting setup, though. Looks like a sled pulling motor.

I've seen that before. Or one just like it. I don't think he's saying it was his.

It looks like a 12 valve 5. 9 to me also. Look at the p-pump.



53 block, yea pretty funny.

I doubt the 53 block had anything to do with the failure. If you watch the vidieo, there was smoke coming out between the head and block some time before the head came off. There is a lot of turbo in front of the engine. Head bolt failure is probably cause of catastrophy, it's a wonder someone wasn't maimed. bg

I think the entire block separated lengthwise along the crankcase, kinda like what happened to some of these guys

a dinkymax would have shotgunned itself long before and much further than the cummins

Yeah, their typical reaction is toss a piston or 2 to try to be like the I6. :-laf:-laf

nothing those little bowtie wearing geeks build will EVER compare to what the real truck builders create. These engines are built just the same way BIG trucks are, to last a million miles with NO internal issues, and they NAILED IT!!! have you ever noticed when the magazines spec out a "hot" dinkymax, they devote a whole paragraph to the internals? rods, pistons,crank,and everything is balanced, bluprinted(?) and massaged in some way, all to survive the power level that a STOCK BLOCK and HEAD cummins willthrive at? (other than head studs, which CAN be swapped without removing the head) I have made a RELIABLE 490+ hp rwp (maybe 600hp crank ) and drove it with NO issues for over 200k mi. My good buddy, who USED to drive a GOVERNMEN MOTORS diesel would regularly get left in the dust and cummins smoke towing our almost identical 5ers finally saw the stupidity of driving a "wanna be a corvette" when there was work to be done. he now drives a early (12 valve) 2nd gen and is happier than he EVER was with that 06 money magnet !!!! TAKE THAT, BOWTIE BOY
