Here is What Happened To Carly's Engine....

[@jenniferkbowman]

when I blew up our 410 donovon block~ was at top speed @ Calistoga~(K~BOOM) it snapped crank @ first four bolt , blew front cover off into Radiator along with many other parts from inside the motor . car stopped so fast and hard bowed rear and front motor plates~ bent drive shaft& torque tube ~cracked the rear axle!!! I would be checking every thing.I love your video`s hope I can meet you when I`m at cottage grove for the three days 2,3,4

[@TannerHolmes]

We will be checking everything.

[@aliciajohanson9656]

Love you Tina you’re the best driver ever

[@michaeladderley8696]

Dang I race sprints and never happened to me 😕😕

[@djkidd3814]

Totally a bummer deal

[@skepticusmaximus184]

@5:43 "... check out all the parts in the pan. It's just nuts." If only it *were* just nuts in the pan. That's a serious bit of damage right there by the looks. Hope it doesn't set you guys back too far. Carly has been great to watch and the sooner she's back on the track the better. Fingers crossed this weekend will be another win like last weekend for you tanner. Good luck to you all. 😃👍

Keep in mind plug wires crossed nite One. (Cause/contribution?) On that Put #'s on cap & plug wire ends for quic monitoring. Good runs this wknd!

[@matchthat5053]

Engine builder I talked with said the crossed wires could have started the damage due to high compression engine being fuel injected not firing at the right time and building large amounts of fuel and igniting late. I'm really looking forward to finding out the true cause.

[@TannerHolmes]

yes it could have contributed. we will have to see.

[@jeremy8169]

Grey racing engine is a great engine builder.

[@luckychopp402]

Ahh, reminds me of the good old days when my dad and I used to tear down a blown motor. Hosing down the car in the field next to our house after a night of Hales Corners Speedway brings back fond memories. 😁

[@pascalbourgon6978]

Ok,first off,i just actually happened to run into these two,brother and sister career is a dream come true for myself,but unfortunatelly,im the only one outta my own familly thats addicted to dirt racing,im from (gatineau quebec canada),and use to run street-stock division,and moved up to 358 mods,for two years,but the only thing was that i wasnt driving my own car,i was driving for the owner of the dirt track in edleweiss qc,witch unfortunatelly,closed down due to neigtbours complaints for the noise,but they never ran any races passed 11h,p.m.,but sadly,they shut it down in 2010,and also the person who i used to drive for,sadly passed away in 2009 also,wich was also,the end of my ride and also my career,and ive never been able to get back on track due to personal resons,and also the cost of a good car and a professional team,tools and ect-ect......

[@ldnwholesale8552]

I have never seen a steel roller cam break like that. I guess a conrod hitting it does that. BUT what failed first, valve train or conrod. Whatever,, expensive

[@zacharyradford5552]

Valve I would imagine and then a chain reaction.

[@StephenThomas2]

🐐’s

[@matchthat5053]

Guessing only/ bad cam broke ,no rpm issue. No oiling issue. Cam possibly fell to the floor before going in the Engine. Talk briefly to one of the best Engine builders. I ask him what could cause the cam to break after only the second night of racing. His answer is the gear drive. So I'm confused is it possible the hydraulic pump locked up and broke the cam. Or does the gear driven cam have a bad gear drive off the crankshaft. I hope you let us know. I was interested in what Carly said about losing the steering. If steering became rough just before Engine blowing then I would check for a bad pump also.

[@tomcasey2362]

Whether the cam went first or the rod went first, it’s common that the cylinder across from the the rod that broke will be damaged because those two rods share the same journal on the crankshaft. Usually the crank is too scored up and bent to used again.

[@zacharyradford5552]

From seeing the puffs of white smoke I’d say it was an oiling issue.

[@mitchkesan3028]

It happens

[@robertboten4944]

Love to see you both are 100% into your program. The more you can do yourself the more reasonable you can run your programs.

[@unclemuir]

My money would be on a stretched rod bolt. and the rest is history. Tanner what kind of RPM's do the limited engines run?

[@TannerHolmes]

7800-8000

Thanks for the update on the engine implode. Good luck this weekend have a great time. I wish I could be there to watch but I'm only 2370 miles away. Sometime this year going to watch you live. Need another checkered flag.

Welp that way too many pieces of cam shaft smh sry guy's

[@magillanz]

Tanner at school still or work? Seems to spend a lot of time during day in raceshop while Carly is at school

[@dahlilabane2982]

He finished high school, so now he works with his family or his inside of the garage.

[@TannerHolmes]

I graduated in December. I'm full time on social media and racing!

[@jaredkinneyjr]

Kistler & LEVEL Engines are 2 engine shops I'd recommend in the Fremont/Attica area

[@patwatson7543]

Sucked a valve out and that took out the piston

[@lyndenmathias744]

I'd be definitely calling the engine builder

[@dosilecreations6229]

cam exploded

[@liamhoyes3959]

Oh no

[@JB_Machine]

You don't have extra engines? We always had 2 per car so if one let's go or just needs freshening up we could still run

[@TannerHolmes]

We have one for Carly and one for me!

[@robertcharles1026]

Hope Carly gets back on track soon. Good luck for the weekend.

[@burlapX]

👍. once again, excellent video

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

Was this the engine that Carly kept getting hot during practice? From years of see this type damage looks like a Connecting rod bolt back out or a rod broke And got hammered up and broke the cam in 4 parts.

[@TannerHolmes]

Not this was a different engine.

[@proslot11]

I have had a cam twist and brake on me to . I learned half way throw the season to put a new cam in .

[@pauldenson5287]

Could have been worse could have poked a hole in the block . That's racing tho engines go bang no body's fault just fix it and have another go

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Hope to see Carly back in the Car again real soon!!! Wish You all the best this weekend! 🏁

[@sparkyofsocal]

Come on builders the gal needs to sit out because a motor scrambled. Help with something like a motor can have in the shop as a backup. Maybe a consignment type deal. You know the thanks and mentions Tanner would throw your way Dooo it!

[@Kevin_747]

I have seen your post on a couple of videos. You ever buy a injector to pan racing engine? Open up your checkbook if you're such a Carly fan. Dad will take care of it.

[@skepticusmaximus184]

@@Kevin_747 how about a go fund me for sponsorship for couple of good charities to be advertised on Carly's car (until commercial sponsors out bid). She gets the engine and gives the publicity/advertising. The donors (actually funding the engine) get to contribute to both causes, as the publicity in sponsorship is payed forward.

[@Kevin_747]

@@skepticusmaximus184 There ya' go. Your chance to start a gofundme for Carly's racing hobby. You can call a few race engine builders and find out just how much a reliable racing warhead costs. Donors will be interested to know since they're donating to a "good charity".

Thats the engine builders fault...

You know they always run best before they blow up.

Hey man. Its a lifter. Its connected to the rocker lol. You kept calling it a rod and I just can't lol

That new motor really took a dump.

[@shorttrackthing6919]

Damn no pushrod on valve 5 and 6 who the f built that engine

[@51-FS]

Dang. Broke the cam

[@davidjessee7701]

If I had the $ I would buy Carly a spare motor.....

[@scottholbert1192]

From years of engine breakage, throw it all away and get all new. You start mixing some new with the old and who is to say more of the old won't break again and wreck some of the new ?

[@jeffomspaugh6691]

A view of the bottom of the engine would have been nice. Were there connecting rods hanging? Did the crank get broken?

[@TannerHolmes]

Crank was fine actually! Some things will be salvageable and some won't I guess.

[@joealbert7773]

So did a rod let lose and break the cam? Or, did the cam just fail?

[@kurtstoutner2935]

I have a 360 Sprint motor its in my street rod with afr heads 450 dome je pistons comp cam west mar shaver gear drive was produced 630 hp 9200 max rpm set for dry sump has been run wet sump 4 bolt mains 010 high nickle block

[@kurtstoutner2935]

It broke the cam and had a oil starvation problem locked the cam broke it and bent the push rods thats a complete rebuild limited engine is what 20k ??

[@mineralareaoutdoors2213]

He said it was just rebuilt 2 races ago...🤷‍♂️

[@zacharyradford5552]

Yeah I agree oil problem

[@dbsnyder4503]

Tough deal on a race engine with very few laps on it. Most builders will not cover it. So minimum, you are looking at almost a new build. As the crank could very well be scored too? Heads "may" be salvageable, but surely need to be reworked. Block is likely OK, if cylinder walls and rings are good? One of those deals where you just get another engine, and rebuild this one as a spare. It hurt$ ! Been there more than once. Unless you have lots of funds, this is the most gut wrenching part of racing.

[@TheCrewChief374]

Well one recommendation I would give is change the rods to new ones. Every time you have the engine gone through... That will lower you chances of having a rod break... Which is what I havr seen work with teams I have worked with in the past. From almost every time with reusing rods. To putting new rods in and not having a rod failure.

[@ryanorchard5559]

That thing was blowing up for 2 laps before it let go.

[@bigdaddys73nova]

Hang tough Carly it’ll come back stronger than ever

[@kylehampshire749]

That's a nice boat anchor man, if I had to guess it was oiling or a oil pump. It go boom lol

[@benjaminrizzo6573]

It's your engine and your mpney!!! Take it apart!!!!!#

[@benjaminrizzo6573]

Dropped a valve...or broke a rod....if so who's doing the maglafluxing? If RODS are used!?

[@unclebones2488]

cam

[@davidwalker9188]

I would say they put in a junk camshaft

[@danielthrasher7052]

Nothing a bit of JB weld can't fix sorry for Carly but that engine is junk now..............................................................................................

[@dustinglenn829]

"The cam is in multiple different pieces" Just wow. Absolutely inane.

[@jamjams690]

Raaaouch, Tanner my sons motor did something like that but with it we lashed the valves to tight and it mushroomed a lifter and broke the cam. Carly's looks like the bottom end went probably rod 6, if you watch her video again when she timed in and came in you videoed her shutting the car off and you can see orange flame and smoke out of the right header, so it was burning a bit of oil then

[@greganderson2278]

See you tomorrow night! I’m a little curious on the engine episode, hopefully everything will come together for you

[@jeffbooth6065]

That engine should not have let go so soon after rebuild. I would really grill the miter builder that one should be you pay for parts only . You said the 360s do not have a hold there are there more limited or 410. Travel safe and good luck

[@robertfishback4196]

SHHHHH........ NO ONE KNOWS AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WANTED!!

[@CuzznDave]

You wanted to know what was still good . I think I seen a valve cover bolt that looked good still.😁lol ok hope it's not to bad.

[@benjaminrizzo6573]

Sell that blown up engine for parts! Never pays to save when your racing alot! Your insurance is the quality of the parts you buy for your race car engine! Ohh..they say blown up! How come it comes out the oil pan then??😂😂
