I'll take a little embarrassing mistake over engine damage any day! 🤨👍

Me too. A couple years ago I did the head gaskets in my Silverado and when it was all done and buttoned up it still wanted to run hot. I was so mad that I just knew I did everything right, and didn't know what was wrong this time I parked it and didn't even open the hood again for like 4 days. Then when I was cleaning up old parts I found the brand new thermostat that I apparently never installed because I accidentally stuck the old one back in it. And in my bones I just knew that the radiator, water pump, t_stat, hoses, head gaskets...... Everything was new and there's no way this could be happening. 😂🤬

@Reignin1 Ай бұрын

🙋‍♂️... I think your theory is correct Sir. It make scents that whatever unspent fuel injected after the ignition was cut has been ignited by the high heat of the exhaust pipes.

@stevenbelue5496 Ай бұрын

I would think at that high an rpm, from one revolution till the next would be milliseconds and if ign was cut between those revolutions, between two exhaust valve opening events and I envision the first exhaust valve opening event that ignited in the cylinder, that theres still fire or fuel burning as that exhaust charge exits past the valve and enters the pipe so the next exhaust opening event that had ign cut and didnt fire, as soon as that exhaust valve opens its igniting right then and considering valve overlap some of that pressure wave is going back into the intake tract. Maybe not enough for a burst panel or maybe the lobe seperation on a turbo cam helps prevent that somewhat. But seems like with a lot of overlap that could cause some damage.

@zenrill8723 Ай бұрын

Sounds like you said. There is a micro second when the cylinders still get fuel and the exhaust temps are high enough to ignite which give the backfire. If it were out of one bank I would look closer, but running at that RPM the fire was almost at the same time on each bank. All else fails, bring ol' Fred back to the table! Miss seeing that car. Good luck guys!

@thomaslamalfa6179 Ай бұрын

I agree you shut down with your foot on the throttle and built up raw fuel and it ignited in the hot headers. Your car looks great. I’m a dirt track guy, when your coming down the straight away and you let off turning in what ever fuel is going to g through the system over powers the ignition and raw fuel hits the headers and we get flames out the exhaust. It hasn’t caused an issue yet. Keep it fast and straight, The dirt track millwright.👍

@bernardweldon6110 Ай бұрын

I think you’re correct in your assessment. I believe that when you shut off the ignition, the fuel was still being dumped into the combustion chamber and since you shut the ignition so the fuel detonated in your exhaust because the pipes where hot enough to ignite the unused fuel instead🤔 IMHO, the engine will be fine. But check you pipes at the weld to make sure they didn’t crack from the pressure. I don’t know, but I am interested in finding out what happened. Love the channel you two🙏🤟
