damn :shock: i guess it really had a nervous breakdown #-o

Thats what happens when you suck your radiator up into your waterpump :shock:

[Soylent_Green]

surprisingly, the radiator was unharmed. :-|

[ironman_gq]

damn how was the rest of the motor. :shock:

[Goose]

Well thats a first for me too.. Ugly.. Disturbing pictures.

[Soylent_Green]

Was running the motor after some ignition work, new pickup in the dizzy, we were timing it, and as soon as the rpm's got above Idle, BANG! SPLAT!

I thought at first that it was a fire/explosion (this was right before I discovered the internal problems and didn't know that it was two intake valves not functioning in one plane that was causing flames to come out of the carb, and not timing issues)

A few seconds later I was thinking, Alright, no fire, then I saw the pieces of cast iron on the inner fenders......

#-o ...Always an adventure...

I guess that's why they invented booze. :razz:

[rollen dean montoya]

exactly :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

[Goose]

so what happened? Did the cam drive the impeller through the cover or what?

[Soylent_Green]

I am still unsure what exactly caused this. I can only think that it was some sort of internal bering failure in the waterpump.

Still to this day, all I can say is W T F!!!??

Yea you wouldnt think there would be enough radial energy in the fan/pump assembly to snap the fron cover like that..
