The Silent Treatment: This Video Of An Absolutely Mangled Diesel Engine Doesn’t Need Commentary

Sometimes no words are necessary, right? Take this short video for example. It shows one of the most thoroughly destroyed engines this side of the top fuel eliminator pits. Someone with a really keen eye for engine block identification may be able to clue us in as to what model of inliner we are looking at here, but my goodness is it dead. If we are doing some eyeball diagnoses, it appears that things went really south in the third cylinder from the front. The crank journal is all mangled and the fact that the freshly removable “inspection plate” that used to be the block seems to have been jarred loose from that area also leads us to think that number three was the culprit in some shape or fashion.

When you look at the size and beef of that connecting rod laying on top of this mess, the camshaft that is busted smooth in two, other valvetrain parts, and the hunk of block that also has a large portion of the oil pan rail with it, you truly get the sense of just how nasty this all must have looked and sounded when the action went down.

Hey, whatever this came out of got a fresh plant, so we guess that’s a win, right?
