Exploding Carpet Cleaning Van

What a day! I made the best of it though

Enjoy my pain and watch my video. Please excuse the typo in it as I try not to repost the same videos.

Update... This was a test video to see what kind of response I would get. After reviewing feedback from others I have decided that the video was not in my companies best interest. Thank you all for your support and feedback.

Why no oil on the ground if you threw a piston??

And I thought the brakes were a PITA......

 

[Spots2Stop]

I lost my oil before I had it towed.

 

[Carpet Cleaning Fool]

How many miles on the odometer?

 

[Bob Foster]

Uhmm.... ever heard of a core charge?

 

[Jay D]

Why hand grenade your motor? :shock:

Uhmm.... ever heard of a core charge?

He can still get it even if he threw a rod.

Moron. :-)

something one of my boys would think cool.


Now you'll be on Bane-Clene's next ad.

Whet gas do you use?

 

[Spots2Stop]

The van had 130,000 miles however I used it with a pto for a couple of years. I had a main bearing go out and lost oil pressure. I could have had it fixed for around $1,000 but they usually go bad again shortly after. I can have a used engine installed for around $2,200 with low miles. Plus it just made me feel better to blow it up.

Regular gas

You have to be kidding me. You just won the award for the biggest dumbass of the year.. !gotcha!

Not if he put it through the block or cracked the block

lucas engine oil treatment could have given you a few more months. it will boost oil pressure enough to give you 20 lbs at idle. Don't ask me how I know. :roll:

My buddy(he owns a landscape biz) and I blow up about 2-3 lawnmower motors a year... We drain the oil and throw some dirt in the spark plug holes,and it's amazing what they will actually take. :shock: good times at his shop! I like watching things blow up.

I love catastrophic failure, that was cool, you should also post pics of the block after they pull it. I once took a lawnmower that pissed me off and drained the oil out of it and started it up, dang thing ran for quite a while with no oil, then finally siezed up.

that was just odd. :?

 

[Spots2Stop]

It was fun while it lasted. I deleted the video.

Thank you all for your feedback.

Hey, I've had days when I felt that destructive, but I've mellowed in my old age.
