[@SmithsEuro]

Hi friend!!! 🤗

[@ajkr32]

Wow mate that’s some proper carnage! 🤯 amazing the rod hanging out of the block looked untouched 😂! And the bearings look good also! You reckon if there was no over-revving the crank would be completely fine? Can’t wait to see where you go from here, I suppose finding a forged crank would be the main goal? Keep up for footage 👌👍

[@SmithsEuro]

Yeah over revving caused everything, ive had flywheel bolts back out as well from that. I couldn’t get the clip to work but i did get an 18’ atlas motor that has a forged crank. Going to be using that for the remainder of the year

[@jmstar3670]

Hey man you're an inspiration. Can't wait to see that thing back up again....

[@SmithsEuro]

Appreciate it, next few videos will have it ripping again

[@Fopeano]

Pretty interesting, been waiting to see what happened with this. Glad it didn't take out the transmission.

[@SmithsEuro]

Luckily i managed to save the valve springs and cams Ill have the new engine video next week hopefully

[@thirdgeargrind]

Love it when misfortunes are shared. 🎉 Makes me feel better about my own 😂

[@SmithsEuro]

Wasn’t no hiding that lol crank went to another zip code

[@AlexSierra36]

Yeah man, love the build! I have an Mk2 myself, but just a hobbyist. I eventually want to swap an 07k or 3.6 in it

[@SmithsEuro]

Nothing sounds better than a vr, dont let the internet talk you into a 07k lol

[@adasmithy]

The 3.6 are hard on the rockers to start with. High reving would stress them further.

[@SmithsEuro]

I haven’t had any break with the supertech kit About 20 valves bent when the crank broke Every rocker that broke was one that the valve hit

[@carbonmk1]

hectic , gutted

[@samdemond1]

New motor has another cast crank?

[@SmithsEuro]

No i got a newer atlas motor with the forged crank Ill never touch another cast crank engine for racing

[@samdemond1]

@@SmithsEuro Nice

[@alexstromberg7696]

how did a NA build fail like that, a crank be that weak. esy to much damage for being a NA engine, using a VR6 seems like a nightmare, a 1.8t is probably both faster and wont break

[@SmithsEuro]

2 different motors Stock 1.8t huck rods with a k04 cause they’re cast This version on the vr had a cast crank, and I’ve abused it. Seen 9k and 10k rpm My own fault it broke. I doubt one would fail in a street car

[@ruurdvandijk4770]

Blv or bws engine

[@SmithsEuro]

Blv cast crank
