My 400ci Chevy BLEW UP! Lets See The Damage

[@Turtle_1976]

I can 1000% agree with you on needing a mental break! I’ve been in the same boat myself. I think pretty much everybody in the world can agree with you! It’s good to see you back posting a video and I hope you’re in a better place now!

[@TheGalacticWest]

This mans emotional connection to this single block is admirable.

[@mikep8442]

Something I wish I could still do...Lifting a bare block bare-handed??? Dude, it's good to be young! God Bless :)

[@ChickenJoe24]

If I don't get to see a video of that 350 going into that bmw 325, I'll be mildly upset. No big deal though love the content! Tha part where yu looped and slowed down yu saying the old 400 might be salvageable had me rotflmao!😂 looking forward to more juicy updates cant wait to see yu and farmy drifting! Love these squarebody s10s .

[@kennyphillips8603]

Glad to see you back. Everyone needs a break once in awhile. Do good work bro

[@bigrudy91174]

Glad your back and motivated. Looking forward to what you have in store.

[@802Garage]

Miss your videos man love the update!

[@miaatch1]

Gland your ok. keep the content going. i like watching your projects. your builds are fun

[@kristopherkull3342]

Missed your videos glad your back

[@gordon47542]

Good to see you again keep grinding my man

[@jackmorris9180]

nice to see your back. obsoletely stoked

[@nivesknight]

I hope it all starts going good miss more frequent videos...

[@OneMoreBolt]

Unfortunate that this mill met an early demise however at least the carnage was impressive. I think that piston is worthy of a memorial placement on a shelf in remembrance of the late 400.

[@jayinmi3706]

Good to have you back!

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

Hey welcome back. Wow piston failure, go figure. If the hole in the one cylinder was the worst of the block damage, that one cylinder could of been sleeved. Oh well, looks like you have another sbc 400 replacement so... With 5.7" rods you'll need a small base circle cam if you have cam lobes bigger than .335"(over .500" lift with 1.5:1 rockers) because of rod to cam clearance. This is why the factory went with 5.565" rods for the 3.75" stroke the sbc 400 has. I wonder what broke first, the block or the piston? The hole in the block could of filled the cylinder with coolant that can't be compressed which would break the piston. Or if the piston broke first it could of made the hole in the cylinder? Block over the head throw was cool, even cooler that you didn't hurt yourself doing that.👍

[@Nick_Spencer]

finally! Love all the s10 stuff!

[@Casper51tfg]

Missed you man!

Never use a stock pump pickup for a semi performance application, use one with a bracket.

[@thunder_lloyd]

KEEP IT UP!

[@racer193wr]

Did you ever change the RPM Limit on the jegs computer? 6000rpm seems like a bunch on a stock 400. Maybe 5400rpm would have been more kind..

[@nickbrown4753]

Sorry bro we've all been there

[@actschp1]

I'd say you lost the cylinder wall in number 1, and it sucked in a ton of coolant, hydrolocked and that's why the number 1 piston looks so deformed. The piston tried to compress the coolant, the engine speed was high enough that it bent and then destroyed the rod, deformed the piston and bent your crank. It wasn't your assembly that was the problem, the block just failed. Also, don't forget to drill the steam holes in the 350 heads to make them work on the 400

[@mikep8442]

Wow! That's some A-Level forensics :)

[@actschp1]

@@mikep8442 not too far off.. professionally I am being trained to do failure analysis.

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

You can have that cylinder bored and sleeved.

[@ardennielsen3761]

if ya didn't do the donuts and just ate them at tim's... would have been able to drive back to get another.

[@StreetLethalRacing]

Not sure how you built this engine, but understand when it comes to factory 400’s, you don’t ever rev them high with factory short rods, and if in fact you take the rod bolts off… they are prone to stretching, and you always need to use ARP bolts to replace them. Never reuse the factory rod bolts after removing them.

[@JACKALBACK]

How many have you blown up in your years

[@my89scottsdale67]

Is the nv3500 a manual?

[@Robrt32]

We see what happened but wonder why it happened

[@romper4444]

I guess this is what happens when you dont build an engine properly, dont break it in properly, dont check your clearances and just slap it together. For all you noobs out there, get someone that knows what theyre doing or your fun and money will be spent up in a few hundred or thousand kms.
