That's the same one.
Why is there so much smoke coming out of the intake? How can air be getting in there with so much smoke coming out?

If I were stuck in some snowy road, a hundred miles from anywhere, THAT would be the engine I'd want in my car. It was down to one cylinder and smoking like a cigar convention, but still running. Talk about bulletproof.

But if its super cold on that snowy remote road and your glowplugs don't work properly or your fuel gels....you may not be able to start that bulletproof engine...

I also saw this some time ago as well.
I like the comment reading something along the lines of "next time try oil into the intake instead of water."

Thats nothing. I know someone who drove their S430 through a flooded street and hydro-locked the engine. Blew a few computers to, could have bought a very nice 2007 Camry for what it cost to fix that one.

All I can say is make sure the water is shallow before you try to cross it, some people.

What a good way to kill an old engine, kind of a waste of time, but fun.

I was expecting to see the cylinderhead explode or something.....did you guys see the blow by coming out of the radiator towards the end?
and I'll just bet that if the block ain't cracked, all it would need is some rings and a head rebuild..but I did hear some knocking...

The only thing missing is a rod shooting out the side of the block like a missile and pegging the guy with the water jug. Freekin' idiots.

That would be hilarious, the car fighting back by having a rod planted into his frontal lobe.

Such a shame... sad to see an excellent engine go ... Would have been funny if it threw a rod at the guy tho



on second thought.. would make an excellent plot for a ghost car movie.. guys kill car, someone rebuilds engine, car engine swapped into comes back for revenge
