You asked. 50 chevy one ton. 6 cylinder. Dont know how it did that.
So thats how a leaking wheel cylinder is fixed...
My new grease gun after 3rd tube of grease. Dewalt made good on it. Sent me a new motor in mail instead of shipping grease gun out and back. 15 minutes to fix it.
Its a ford thing, i see a few every year. Destroys coil when it blows out.
Not sure the actual cause as it was deceased when I got it, believe it was fed too much nitrous, cracked the cylinder wall in 2 or 3 places, allowing coolant into the oil, which then took out the bearing. The little silver piece in the bottom pic is all that remains of a rod bearing.

Did someone say "too much nitrous"?

Bought a dead Volare for the Super Six parts. PO said it ran till it didn't, as expected. I take it apart to salvage the cam for another engine, and see we have a cam bolt, and a cam gear, but no cam washer. No wonder it died, the gear was flopping around loose inside the timing cover. I found about half of the washer (two pieces) in the oil pan, the other half is not to be found. All I had to do to get the chain and gear off was lift it up.

I hear that 302 ford blocks are only good to 600 hp. That must have been making 601 !

Tore this off a tired motor. Looks like it put up a long fight. Officially retired but could be reused at some point.

Used this air cleaner on my small block for clearance and decided to try it on my 440. Went for a ride and the whole foam part was gone. That motor swallowed it and must have went out the exhaust in pcs. Lol. Its retired for good!
No pics because this happened back in 1971: Driving home from work in my recently built 340 (had to rebuild because of prior stupidity - don't ask) that had been assembled by someone else. Turned out they forgot to replace one of the oil plugs that they didn't even know about because they'd never built a small block Mopar before.
Anyway, the motor spun a rod bearing and when it spun the bearing split in half and he two halves crossed and chewed the crank pretty good.

On my initial drive around the neighborhood after rebuilding the entire car. To my amazement, not a drop of oil was lost and pressure remained good. Damn drainage dips.
No pictures but I destroyed 2 A525 transmissions out of my 87 GLHS because I was boosted up to 18 psi

A guy gave me a 360. He said it was definitely rebuildable. When I saw the dents in the oil pan from the inside I knew better. Still lots of good stuff there but the short block was toast.

Just gotta love those "professionals"; makes me sick when I see stuff like that............
This was from a 3 cylinder diesel that I had rebuilt a few years ago.
