CRANKSHAFT COMES OUT OF THE BLOCK VR6 ALL MOTOR CAR

[@danny_vrsociety]

Hate to see it, but glad to already see it back in 1 piece on IG! Also...family trackday goals! 🤘

[@scadieee]

Daaaamn man rooting for a greater comeback !

[@spoon8682]

Damn dude! What a bummer! Thanks for still posting up the races at least. Hopefully that didnt kill your drive to rebuild and try again. I felt that anger when it popped for sure.

[@SmithsEuro]

Already on it, planning to be at the track soon and definitely for the final all motor race sept 22

[@SDSBBQs]

Yer Done!... Sorry couldn't help it. Can't wait to see you build it better the next time. Say Hey to the wife and the kids!

[@SmithsEuro]

Lol, Will do. Itll be back at the track hopefully this week

[@donaldshidal851]

without boost! well done. part of the deal but a bummer.

[@SmithsEuro]

Already getting it back together, just a part of racing

[@finlay230]

Awwww man, totally gutted for you

[@SmithsEuro]

Its racing, youll see it out again

[@trevsimpson7585]

That is the first time ever I’ve seeing a VW engine detonate like that and I’ve been driving them constantly for the last 20 odd years wow something definitely came loose Inside the block or Crank/block was already cracked

[@SmithsEuro]

All rods bolts are still tight, all bearings are fine. Even the one that came out of the block is fine Cast crank just fatigued from abuse is all. Taking a redline from 5800 to 8400 sure didn’t help. It held together for a while though.

[@fredjones5327]

Damn bro I’m so sorry, fix it and keep going!!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@SmithsEuro]

Its life, going to be back soon

[@fredjones5327]

@@SmithsEuro cool beans!!!!

[@haaseuros9789]

If you're near indiana i have a cheap cast 3.6 up for grabs

[@SmithsEuro]

Managed to grab an atlas motor, should be back in business soon

[@angeloanonymous9125]

Eish....racing can b cruel sometimes

[@SmithsEuro]

Yup lol

[@matthewmohri9990]

That sucks, I'm so sorry. Is there a way to replace the crank with something stronger? I am watching this as I ask the question. hey does NeedaVR6 still race? He was quite helpful back in the day when I was building my 12v VR6.

[@7275vrt]

Pauls still around. Doesnt race much. Hes in the video. Black corrado

[@SmithsEuro]

With me getting the all motor stuff back up this year all the old guys are out lol. VW NATIONALS vid is next youll see him and his others. Then we have the last race sept 22

[@lowlife_rabbit_mk2]

Ben is pushing 8s in that all motor 3.6?

[@SmithsEuro]

No hes pushing 9’s though This was only 1000ft race since the shut down isn’t good for 160 the fast cars can do

[@lowlife_rabbit_mk2]

ahhhh, I was about to say. came a long way since I last saw him 😂 ​@@SmithsEuro

[@ajkr32]

Mate noooooo!! That’s so shitty! Really sucks I’m sure you’ll get her back up and running better than ever but still I’ve never seen an N/A set up have that much crank carnage!? I thought all the 3.6L had forge cranks? I suppose my mistake!

[@haaseuros9789]

Not all. From my reading the single bolt crank is cast and the multi bolt balancer means forged

[@SmithsEuro]

It appears only transverse engines only with multi bolt cranks are forged. Ive seen Tuareg that are multi bolt and cast
