Why Do Engines Blow Up | Blown Engine Causes | What Causes a Blown Piston | Partzilla.com

What causes an engine to blow up?
In this video from Partzilla.com, John will take you through some of the reasons engines blow. Many engine failures can be attributed to maintenance issues: old oil, bad coolant, and clogged air filters. Keeping on top of routine maintenance issues can prevent many blown engines.
We’ll also talk about performance issues and how they can cause an engine to fail. There are conditions in your engine you need to avoid, and there are conditions you need to avoid when you’re in the saddle or the driver’s seat.

Hello I have a question. could you guys be able to make a video on how to replace the axel and bearings on a 2004 Honda Sport trax 250EX

[@anunnakidorion1523]

Thanks

Hello John, with proper maintenance and care how many miles can we put on a modern sport bike. For example my 18 gsxr 1000R. I sold my K5 gsxr 1000 with 55k on it. It stilled put out 185psi on all cylinders before I sold it. I'm curious how many miles we can get out of a modern motorcycle. Thanks

99.5% engine blow human factor

[@tylerk-h5597]

John you should definitely do a video on a Yamaha yzf-R125 by putting on a 180cc malossi bore and a 6 spring clutch bigger throttle body, water pump, oil pump etc would be a video a lot of people in the uk would want to watch because of our Europe licensing it’s one of the most frequently bought motorcycles and everyone wants to make them faster!!

Hi! So I have a 97 nat supra, fully built 3.4 stroker kit w/ billet mains, stg 4 head p&p, all ferrea, shimless buckets, titan 272's & gears custom bronze seats 1 overbore, custom pistons, 10:1 compression 3mm cosmetic hg, 1700ids, titan 6"ic, 3" in&out, custom ex man, intake man 90mm tb, induction performance coil system, catch can, 50mm tial bov 60mm precision Wastegate w/ 18lb spring... The idiots installing the Hypertune vc's didn't locktite the baffle bolts, 2 came loose & destroyed the intake camshaft lobe #2, jolted engine (locked up), destroying belt, oil pump, tensioner, and several other things. I took to co performance specialists and the owner said leakdown was good, so he replaced those items, cr ran good, so he gives it back to me , I drive 15 miles and the motor completely blows. Cracked/broken pistons, head, everything. Please let me know what to do and whos to blame whether the 1st idiots or Co Performance. Spclists... everyone denies any responsibility!

[@michaelmcilrath9953]

I was driving on the highway and the engine blew leaving a big brack in the front/bottom of the enginge block. How much is it going to cost? New engine? Is it even worth fixing a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650?

[@chaoudhryfromjapan4313]

Partzilla don't show my bike. (2018 KODIAK 700 EPS 4WD SE - YFM70KPSJ) There is no letter after the J on my bike so now what.

[@daveyt4802]

Failure to assemble motors right doesn't help either. Cheapin' out the tools and process usually to blame.

[@magnumllama400]

What tools and procedures?

[@redalphawolf3170]

I have a Nissan Sentra 2002 4 cylinder 1.8L manual 5-speed that my piston rod is all bent and broken what can cause that to happened?

[@pooder3078]

The engine probably was rebuilt with cheap parts or you had a slide problem that caused a lot of crankcase pressure

Where can i buy that Partzilla shirt??

[@magnumllama400]

You don't need it

What causes a 2022 Camaro SS to blow the engine at 8,700 miles, 1 year and 2 months old, and having all maintenance done a little bit ahead of schedule, using the proper fuel, under a little bit harder than normal acceleration but nothing that wouldn't've be considered way above normal?

[@pooder3078]

Like chargers and Challengers and certain cars you have to break the engine in and it takes a certain amount of time to do so before you can full send the engine

[@CHESTER9871]

@pooder3078 Never fully sent it lol, it was literally the type of accelerating you'd do when you merge into a highway and try to get up to speed

[@pooder3078]

@@CHESTER9871 oh idk then these new cars are shitty

[@CHESTER9871]

@pooder3078 Got her back about 3 weeks ago, running smoothly again, got the report, the typical seized engine issue, the crank just went kablewy, and the starter was fried lol, got a Friday engine I guess, LT1 engines are know for their reliability, just my luck

[@Ivan-pi6ur]

I money shifted often, now im scared, thanks
