A big single?
I hear ya, but didn't it make like 1000hp on that pull?
That I don't know.
What I do know is it made a pile of junk out of a lot of cool parts, and flushed a ton of money.
Believe me, I like the guys at PDD, they are not hacks, and I'm not judging.
Come on Jeff, tons of internet warriors think we are hacks! You've been around here long enough to know at least I'm a hack with the Junker Drag Truck...
He changed it some time yesterday. That's what really caught my attention. I had gone back to read comments. Will see what's there todayFeel like posting a pic for those of us not on there?
So I'm intrigued now. Zack made a fairly brazing post on Instagram that looked like a response to being called in to question by Drew @ DJ precision.
I *think Zack was alluding to a snap ring kicking out or being gone from the wrist pin, along with outright condemning using a feeler Guage to check ptw.
The limited photographs I've seen don't lead me to believe that it was a wrist pin failure. There are also references to the vertical streaking in the adjacent cylinder.
I don't feel like that is terribly conclusive, but only because I know lube was interrupted to that piston jet well before the engine spun down.
I guess I'm just curious more than anything.

I dont follow hamilton too closely, i run one of their cams and thats about it, but isnt this the block thats supposedly good to 3k hp? Are they taking any of the blame on this or not?
In a galaxy a long, long time ago...This was the place where that happened.
Well I finally got a chance to watch the video and wow, they do not have a clue what failure analysis is. The first thing they did was break rule #1: No preconceived ideas! During an analysis, at no point should any sentences begin with “well I think....”. Everything must be based on facts, and facts are gathered from what you SEE.So I'm intrigued now.

The solution to all of this is very simple; perform a real failure analysis.
