Detroit Diesel Meltdown

[Clydemontreal]

Better not send it to Green Peace.. :-|

[919hornet4me]

Waste of a good engine!

[buzzindozen]

TO BAD THOSE RETARDS WERNT RATCHET STRAPED TO THAT MOTOR

[fk4515]

I hear tell the Navy used 8V71 in some of the swift boats, they ran them without governors. When they went they weren't worth rebuilding they'd pull 'em out, drop the old motor in the river and a new on in the hull

[liketarock]

where was this at



[TheBlazen001]

garbage engines,best diesel make mercedes-benz,scania,volvo,tat­ra......cat,jd,toyota....

[thegreatkingdaniel]

@TheBlazen001 I'm sure anything from Scania or Mercedes-Benz wouldn't last half as long in a runaway scenario. Both produce very good engines, but these old Detroits were nearly indestructible.

[MrJohndeer97]

stupid

[faced33]

nothing to worry about that detroit was no good to begin with my 6-71 went run away for 10 min befor it could be stoped and no damage was done by the way no governor cat stop a detroit it will just run on its own sump oil

[MrSlavkin777]

стадо дибилов убивает двигатель....не зачет...

[MrChucktbags]

Ive seen a detroit in an old grove machine runaway, my dad shut it down by covering the intake then did some more work to it and it fired up and ran lke nothing ever happened. Detroit is the best diesel motor around!

[CaptainBig8IIIIIID]

try to do that with a Powerstroke and there be pieces of it everywhere, this is a real engine!

[Hobgoblin1975]

what a noisy smoke machine

[nat2845]

who gives a shit

[DocTripp1977]

Two things wrong with this picture. Why the hell do that to a perfectly good engine? #2, Are those people suicidal just begging to have the engine fly apart and have something knock their fucking heads right off their shoulders as they're watching it "Melt down"??

[dieselworld]

Just one question...WHY????

[xXDynamosXx]

let it cool... it'll start back up and run fine ;/

[assfailure123]

Chuck Norris called and he is mad u broke his blender!

[2011SSCamaro]

Yea its stupid to be standing that close for what they're doing but detroits never really die. i work with them everyday. there tough diesel engines. as long as nothing serious like a rod coming through the side of the block there still good.

[TheTractorJake]

the smart person wouldve either cut the fuel off, or blocked the intake and actually fixed it and used it for something. but instead lets just stand back and watch this piece of history run until it kills itself. what a shame

[xoxoXoieoxox]

theres only one word 4 this (waste) =3-

[Themrchristiann88]

son una parranda de idiotas!! ir a tragarse el motor xq si!!

[Jthumper]

as much as this video makes me sick, one thing is very likley- let it cool down, fill it back up with coolant and oil- bet it fires right up and could be put right back into a rig for 50k more miles!

[viperz888]

@Jthumper lolno

[Ghraladean]

take a deep breath fuckers and die.

[dezel66]

what a waste fucking dumbass!!!!!

[hotkiwiboy]

that was so stoopid, it deserved a slow clapp...

[sshhrroooomm]

shiiit...never heard a diesel do so many rpm's...im suprised it didnt kick a leg outta bed and take someones head off...

[FabioMcHenry]

i think i saw al gore in the crowd chearing

[ichudov]

How could you assemble so many idiots in one place, I wonder.

[enanotodo]

AMERICA the land of the plentiful

[panhandcake]

This isn't nearly as funny when you just bought one and fire it up for the first time, luckily with a quick adjustment she was off to the races again after sitting in storage for 6 years

[cimism610]

can i put my babay moms ear right on the exhaust

[darksquirrel122]

Why do i see heaps of videos from america, pointlessly killing engines?

[neversatisfiedlol]

@darksquirrel122 most of us are wasteful pieces of shit.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@darksquirrel122 i se canadians and europeans doing it too. now why they are doign this i dont know. id rather it not happen. somebody somewhere could make use of that engine

[nickelisio]

ERGHHH, WHY are they destroying it.

[CMI1986X64]

Take that Al Gore haha.

[legomanzach0051]

can i ask why do this ??

[swmologger]

Tough old motors! They dont make em like that anymore... Tho it only ran for 50 secs before it blew up these old things would last a lifetime.. I have a 64 chevy with a 3-53 in it that had 350,000 miles when i bought it, it now has 864,000.... Thats gotta tell u something...

[barthoedemaker]

@swmologger yeah, they don't make em like they used to. To much complex engines these days.

[griffdastick]

And what the he'll is the point of equating perfectly good engines?? This is almost as bad as cash for clunkers!!!

[Natesmodelrailroad]

Guys...chill out. It was burned up so it could run again, after a rebuild by diesel students. @sandymonkey , isn't that right?

[4x4Explorer]

i think at :37 seconds the turbo blew... the exhaust stops coming out fast

[jake66000]

@4x4Explorer if the turbo blew, you would know it. there would be a fireball and a loud bang

[NesteHukka2]

Detroits are going towards vanishing heirlooms of nation, but sometimes sacrifices for science are good for us. I keep searching engine blowing videos, because those teach me something that theory can't match... ...and of course because I have built so good engines that none have ever catastropically failed. Have twisted a valve 2 times...

[firebuice]

y did u do that i would like to have that engine

[Slooter3s]

i bet it was just the valves that got smashed, that was a little but to quick of a kill for one of those motors. iv seen them go 5 times longer without oil. just probably messed somthing stupid up

[777worldliner]

retards for destroying a nice engine!

[50fordman]

funny thing is this detroit can be completley rebuilt and put back into use detroit made about every single part to be replaceable on these things

[Fatbaldslob]

Wankers!

[MetalcoreGearhead90]

awwww the stupidity....... durrr da durr. waitn for an 8lb piston to fly out at 6000 rpm, thatd tickle a lil bit

[50fordman]

@MetalcoreGearhead90 its not 6,000 rpms though it maybe maxed at like 3,000

[Slooter3s]

@50fordman i bet ya it was atleast 5000, it was screaming pretty high, those engines spin at 3000 rpm without any problems anyway.

[MrSafetymeeting]

Look ma, a whole herd of morons in their natural habitat.

[ateschio79]

AMERICANI DI MERDA 

[uppitybunny]

Shame to see a good useful engine go to waste.

[cst20396]

Total Losers.

[obzelite]

i'm not sure what more retarded, destroying a decent motor for fun, or standing 2meters from it waiting for a bang.

good job is didn't throw a rod, surgeons might have been able to remove the bits of cast iron coated in diesel oil out of people, but the infections would probably kill them.

[lilrichmond89]

what a waste.....

[MrDieselmaniac]

what a waste this dissapoints me.

what is the point in destroying a perfectly good engine?

this should be illegal!!!!

vote me in as president and ill make it illegal to purposely destroy detroits.

[jcumiford14]

that makes me mad.what a waist of a great old detroit. detroit for life.

[davisotj1]

fuck the environment lol

[royalbrainwave]

Dang......... Why oh why? This brought tears to my eyes.

[dewfall56]

All the people involved in this should have been put into a sealed room with the exhaust fumes made here until they were all inhaled away.

[AuH2O]

I've got a short piece of rope and a tall tree for anyone who voluntarily destroys a Detroit Diesel, and a bunch of extra ropes for those standing by and cheering it on.

[Natesmodelrailroad]

@AuH2O By the looks of it....it was actually part of a training thing for diesel engine students. You know, test their rebuild skills. That is the ONLY reason anybody should burn up such an engine.

They were cheering before they realized they had to rebuild it.

[wuscli]

HA HA Screamin Jimmy. Love it.

[joedrummer2010]

By the time this engine locked up, I bet it was so hot you could cook an egg on the valve cover!

[DRNEGOLICIS]

I bet they were all tree huggers too stupid fucking tree fucking mother fuckers

[scubahsteve]

RIP little detroit :(

[willDANCEforPENNIES]

all those people were absolutely stupid to keep standing there. These motors have one problem: The possibility of runaway. If an injector sticks open....that engine's not stopping until it's flying apart. All those people were in danger...but it wouldn't have been much of a loss, considering their collective IQ is probably less than the number of cylinders that engine has.

[Polybun]

@willDANCEforPENNIES You are giving those people too much benefit of doubt. Please remove the word probably from your comment.

[shullreric98]

i take back my last comment if the governor is not set properly they will run away like that only a little more impressive than that but a lot like that

[seapeddler]

If one were to treat the engine with Ceratec, would the engine run much longer?

Ceratec resists extreme pressures and friction.

Sometimes a simple additive will prevent a complex repair.

[jizzmonger]

The guy in the blew gloves apparently thinks his "wax on wax off" practice and rubbery mits will be enough to deflect flying pistons and rods.

Good for him!

[RedDemonSRT4]

@jizzmonger you mean blue... not "blew" of only your mother BLEW your father we wouldn't have your illiterate ass to deal with.

[jizzmonger]

@RedDemonSRT4 Are you drunk?

[DasMidnightDrifter]

@RedDemonSRT4 You mean, "IF" only his mother?

PROTIP: When pointing out somebody's flaws in spelling or grammar, it's generally a wise idea to proofread your own comment so you don't make yourself look like a fucking idiot in front of a potential audience of over 50,000,000 people. ;D

[Cringle84]

@DasMidnightDrifter Yes, there are definitely hypocrites around. :)

[fangus503]

Sometimes I like these videos, only because they show how hard it is to kill some motors. Other times, it's really wasteful.

[shullreric98]

some dipshit probably ran the rack on that fucker and it ran away on them doubt if it was on purpose

[RedDemonSRT4]

@shullreric98 Look again. the guy to the right is pulling on a cable hooked to the throttle.

[andydrew7777777]

Haha this video is awesome! I've always wanted to do that to a Detroit 2 stroker..they are awesome engines! The camera guy is the only smart guy though standing at a distance to the grenade. The safest place to be in this situation is actually standing on TOP of the engine. It has been proven time and time again that engine parts will NEVER travel upwards when grenading...only down and out. There is a study on this with slow motion cameras done by OSHA.

[SaGalv]

sounds like a leaf blower

[kenfo0]

what is frightening about this video is the spectators standing right there. Something can come shooting out of that engine and kill you.

[pumpguy07]

@kenfo0 Agreed

[mjpeeved]

@kenfo0

Agreed, what is a wire fence gonna do? anything under 3" will go straight through into face, balls, internal organs. It's f'ed up!

[therealromster]

@kenfo0 I was thinking of the exact same thing. If I where there I would get the heck away from that motor and behind some barrier.

[gavin4ford]

Ass hole

[S944Porsche]

seems like a great idea, trying to blow up a diesel engine by overrevving it and standing 6 feet away behind an impenetrable chain-link fence

[PissOnJapScrap]

What was the point?

[akretowicz]

What was the point of this needless destruction of a good engine. I just cannot understand this at all.

[TheMrBlinx]

@akretowicz Exactly. Why destroy a perfectly good engine? It's like those idiots with the motorcycles doing burn outs till their tires pop. Makes no sense at all. Since they can't play with their toys right, someone should take them away till they grow up.

[TestECull]

@TheMrBlinx What is this, China? If someone wants to waste something they spent their hard earned money on who are you to tell them not to? Who died and gave you the right to tell others what they can do with their stuff?

[TheMrBlinx]

@TestECull I have just as much right to post my opinion as you do, asshole. Figure it out, moron. Duhhh. If you can't deal with it, commit suicide, pig (the world would obviously be a better place without you anyway).

[TestECull]

@TheMrBlinx Wow, a keyboard warrier, I'm shaking in my boots! Haha. What a piece of work you are. I'm not even going to waste my time proving you to be an idiot, you've done my job for me. I'm just going to sit here and laugh my ass off while you fruitlessly try to insult me.

Also, I'm digging the channel comment you left. It's a shame nobody ever saw it. It just proves how truly immature you are. Now if you will excuse me, I have things to do. Like your mom.

[FirebirdjoeLt1]

@TheMrBlinx Shut up pussy.

[Znitso]

@TheMrBlinx I simply could NOT agree more with you!

[novemberrain212]

Part of the human experience is the right to destroy what we create.

[Polybun]

@TheMrBlinx it's a jimmy two stroke, there is nothing perfect or good about it.

[AmoralEngineer]

@TheMrBlinx Idiots are easily entertained, i would have put this motor to ACTUAL use. Worthless college kids.

[mongo5888]

@akretowicz My thoughts exactly. I can not tell you how many idiots I have seen blowing up good, rebuildable or even rare engines here on Youtube. It's horrible.

[MrGamayer]

Redneck...

[pisteroytuniador]

I've never understood this kind of people...

[Zombunist]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­! Douche!

[wemoy]

were was that video at

[AcaAllertor127]

i bet the engine would go for months if it wasnt broken.

[OLDPETERBILTLOVER]

WTF that is total bull shit

[master7chief]

Guys, relax, its just an engine and you are all scolding him like he killed a man. Yes it was a very nice engine but its not alive or anything. Just meticulously made and put together pieces of steel and iron; from dirt it came and to dirt it will one day return. Don't get me wrong, I Love engines! especially diesels. But you must admit, it is pretty interesting to see what happens when you over rev them. So lets just all be cool.

[50fordman]

@master7chief new rods and bearings and that detroit would fire back up

[felixchaus]

@master7chief So you don´t mind taking down worlds last oldest tree cause it´s just a tree? or killing all whales cause their just whales? they came to eart and Y dont mind if they disapear?

Those engines are dying on distinction (or how ever it is written)

[master7chief]

@felixchaus Killing all whales, or any animal for that matter, is a bit extreme. Furthermore, a tree cant be replaced or put in a museum but theoretically, this engine could be reproduced. Its not good to be ssoo attached to a physical thing that you take its destruction so personally. *THIS IS TO EVERYONE* Honestly, I appreciate the fact that its an antique, however it can be reproduced. YES, they should have used a different, less important engine, but in the end, what Really matters?

[raydawwwg]

cruelty to animals, what about cruelty to detroit diesels, you useless fucks!

[MDSerles]

Why would someone do this to an old Workhorse? Such a waste to see that happen to one!

[MrFatNapkins]

now if anyone that hasnt seen the guy that smoked 400 cigarettes at ones... this is what it looks like.

[ketd9]

they ought to be shot for that !

[Pharao123321]

i wish i could get those engines before they're gettin destroyed eh! :(

[Nec1228]

now the fun part, fix it!

[mrsaxon843]

just cruel

[kleetus92]

I'm not sure I'd be standing next to a 4000 rpm 3/4 ton hand grenade with nothing more than a chain link fence between me and it...

Shame to see a good 2 stroke engine get shot to shit...

[ponkkaa]

Where's the kaboom? There's supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!

[HUTCHtopher]

What the Fuck you could of given me the engine and I could of giving you a worn out Suzuki 1.3 L engine to blow up. What a waste

[onthegaszr2]

this is a true waste. this video angers me.

[TheRealSergentSiler]

do you fucking realise how rare detroits are nowadays?! fucking idiots i swear to god we need manditory iq tests and anyone thats this stupid needs to be shot in the head

[777worldliner]

WHY WOULD YOU TRASH A DETRIOT?? ARE YOU GUYS FUCKED IN THE HEAD!!!??

[PukkPukk]

what is so great about a Detroit Diesel? What makes them different from other engines?

[Bamchucknorris]

@PukkPukk they are high rev- well build and balanced-are the most powerful and highest torque 2 stroke diesels around-and they sound nice

[Jeffreyrno]

@PukkPukk all the parts are interchangable as long as the piston is the same size not to mention all the engines they made for different applications. most oil rigs use these engines due to the versatility

[PierceT520]

Fuck you guys!

[MrBunsX]

NO!!!!!

[xxbal1inxx]

why would you do this i would have stopped at like 0:33

[nickyboy94]

What is a governor?

[undeadkillers]

@nickyboy94

It prevents an engine going pass its "distruction" point.

[nickyboy94]

@undeadkillers Oh thanks.

[1977rw]

was this at the skills usa competition in havre

[snapdragon69]

It shows how dehumanised Americans have become when they pitch a fit about an old engine being tortured, but are quite happy for their government to torture people, even children etc..

[bws1971]

@snapdragon69 You're an idiot. No -- wait. STFU. Yes, you are. What. Huh? No...don't even argue with me. YOU'RE AN IDIOT. Oh, and you need to relax.

[outalinecowboy]

They prolly HAD to destroy it. It is (ya i know im gonna get shit for it) an out of date engine. Some trade school was prolly getting rid of it, and they cant sell it, part it out, or any of the sort. They must completely destroy all engine and componants that go with it so they cant be reused. They are donated and can't ever be used for anything except by the school it was donated to unless it was given back to the donor.

[E800FLYER]

@outalinecowboy

the trade school i went to had to (or has already) destroy any donated engines once they are no longer needed. that includes 2 8V71T's a 2-71 gen set and at least one 4-71. i hope they still have a few around to show what diesel was back in the day.

as for these knucklechildren couldn't they have at the very least just drilled a hole through the block and recycled it with some dignity?

[outalinecowboy]

@E800FLYER I agree, but to each their own I guess. If it were me teaching, I'd put it on the back 40 of the school and keep it to show future generations.

[kiminicooper1]

I think it's a sign of us being totally spoiled that we can do this for entertainment :(

[Ghost1rabbit]

Why the fuck would you do that? any Idea how long it takes to rebuild an engine? and how intricate the rotating parts are? and the amount of work that goes into their manufacture? Next time if you want to do something "fun", go bash your head up against a wall, then we will all be better off.

[curtisallenfolger]

y do dumb fucks think its funny to blow up motors????

[willDANCEforPENNIES]

too bad it didn't throw a rod and go through some of these retard's empty heads

[birddoggarton]

Very Sad to see.

I have about 10 things I could have used that Detroit for.

[jjmqwerty]

it is obvious that non of the people commenting ever worked on gm2 cycle engine. all that was needed was to trip the blower emergency shutdown flap, all the gms 2 cycle engines have one. it shuts off the air to the engine and it stops.

[GuzziScott]

@jjmqwerty well you're mostly correct about the shutdown flaps, but not all of them have them, but you can stuff a board over the intake, or bust open a fuel filter if she's not runnin on her own oil lol :)

[baldymp3]

fuckin losers. destroy something thats not being made any more for no other reason than to amuse some retards.

[highflyer8491213]

you dumb motherfucker

[MegaShawy]

TWAT!

[HwkyPlrs]

BITCH.....poor girl is getting slaughtered....i would fuck all those fags up and take her and give er some respect.

[jgriebel01]

Looks to me like a trade school for diesel mechanics. What a better way to learn than to trash a motor (so you know what it takes to do so) and then rebuild it. Someone always has something to cry about these days.

[Turbo617]

Totally worthless. There are dozens of people that would have LOVED that engine for a conversion.

[kaylandnick]

Havre. I was there for this. i can see me :) V.I.C.A

[FordNissanChevy]

It sounded like it only seized, rebuild it, these engines don't die that easy.

[pullinghounddog]

pretty brave standig in front of a 900 pound grenade hope the medics are nearby.

[baldymp3]

@pullinghounddog i wish it had grenaded and taken half these deadshits with it.

[Nike6bt4bt]

Why...

You ppl are junking engines like no tmorro, and im sitting here wishing i had a motor to learn on...very sad. Who the hell thought up this competition and what is the overal point?

[ruizhernandeztrustfi]

This video make my blood boil with fury.

[justforever96]

Why do the RPM's bounce like that if there's no limiter or anything? Is the throttle really stuck wide open, or is someone running it?

[shackwrrr]

its running off its own oil un metered

[justforever96]

@shackwrrr - What do you mean by "running of it's own oil"? Do Detroits have an external oil tank, or cooler or something? Otherwise I thought that whatever is in the block is enough. There ARE liquid cooled though, right? I wonder if they're running any coolant in there at all.

[Dodgeram901]

its an engine blow up contest for Skills USA state competition. I was there to listen to that thing scream. Im helping a kid get a 350 cummins ready for it next year. I go to college in Helena MT for Diesel and we are rebuilding N14's. cored the old big cam 400s that they used for years, had a couple 3406 kitties and a Silver 92 detroit. all bye bye

[chillpickle420]

:( can't believe you stood around and watched! Breaks my heart. Kept hoping the video would just end or the motor just keep going to show nothing here to see!:(

[siraff2]

A quick service should sort that.

[sweetpete84]

I am coming For You and I am Bringing Hell with Me!!!!!!!!! By the way Where do you Live?

[DionysiosA76]

This death was justifiable because it was probally for some diesel tech class for the students to tear into and rebuild

[caniwitech]

That's what i like to do, ruin perfectly good engines. f'n genious.

[razan8v92]

What the hell did that prove? Oh yea they are goddamn assholes

[flyingscrapyard]

It's a shame a rod didn't fly out and knock those retards to kingdom come. I hope the old girl can be rebuilt and sing again.

[antz350]

fucking retarted rednecks wasting a such great american muscle like that what the fucks wrong with them

[danraich]

why do you think they are rednecks?

[antz350]

@danraich y would u blow up a motor for no reason?????????????

[danraich]

i wouldn't, why do you think i would?
