Holy crap!
The guy following was sort of in awe at the campfire and forgot to react. Good thing the instructor woke him up. |

I am betting on the oil line. I don't expect a piston to make that much fire in a street car.

It could be an oil line. It also could be a piston depending on how it let go. Oil pans can get holes the size of your fist when a piston lets go. The motor can also contain all the piston pieces so ya never know. The higher the rpm, the more damage. I've been thru this 5 times, snot fun. |

Wow that's an amazing video. Glad it didn't turn out worse with the driver behind him.
So you think that'll be covered under warranty? Is it a known issue? Matthew |
