Extreme Engine Failure

This engine was donated to a school's automotive program, had outlived its usefulness, and was scheduled to be sent to the junkyard. By contractual law, it had to be destroyed or re-donated once we were done with it. It could not be sold or parted out. This video was part of a recruiting video hence the music. I'm working on posting the original clip without the music.

Would like to be able to hear the sound of the failure so I can learn something from it, instead of someone else favorite song.

@tomt6040 how many times do you have to be told that by contractual law (AN ORDER OF GM THEMSELVES) that this engine COULD NOT be used for parts or as a whole? Just read the video description.

When GM donates items to schools they have to be destroyed afterward or in some cases given back to GM or donated to another school. Since it had outlived its usefulness, they destroyed it. For whatever reason, GM does not want this engine used by anyone else. Probably defective to start with.

@KrankieV2 So you've still got the wasted block at your school? - Of course not, you sent it to recycling, but as waste metal instead of a usable engine. Of course you didn't appreciate this engine for what it was, you wouldn't know a good engine if it fell on you, you've been brought up in the age of GM plastic trow-away cars and trucks. These engines were meant to last and be rebuilt numerous time to save expense and thus are more ecologically sound than the throw-away junk.

@tomt6040 you really are an idiot aren't you... They were not allowed to sell the engine or part it out so they destroyed it like they were supposed to.

That explosion at the end was whackass! Sure hope no one was standing in front of that hole and got hit with whatever flew out of it! LOL

[tomt6040]

@KrankieV2 Like I said, you've must have been banging you head against something!!! It even has effected the way you respond to others. What a dweeb!

Gimme fue gimme fai! Cool music!

[KrankieV2]

@tomt6040 dude... read the freaking description before blurting out shit that makes you sound like an ass

[ANDYblacks13]

redonate the thing or just take it apart and take the parts to a scrap yard if you had to get rid of it,Not the wisest way to destroy an engine out of an engine bay hanging from a hoist in the open air! any one within 100 yards of that thing was at risk of serious injury

Ditch the music! FFS!
