z06 blows motor
I saw this on SVTP and i thought i would share since i have never seen someone actually blow a motor and the pics of the block and heads look just nightmarish

new Gaymaro SS output shafts snapping, and now the "worlds greatest" v8 engine has been chepened by GM.... GM just needs to lay down and die.
|
"The main issue is oil starvation in high G corners. They fixed it in 09' with a larger dry sump."
|
yeah the oil starvation thing in corners makes sense, but if you watch the vid the vette is pulling away on a straight and then boom. maybe cause it has soo much acceleration that the nose picks up slightly and all the oil goes toward the back...? idk :confused: i wouldve shit my pants if i were the driver there, wonder what that was like from inside the car
|
Wow, thats was impressive. I wasn't expecting the fire at all. My friend hydrolocked his LS1 this week and it wasn't nearly as cool.
|
anytime you see a GM show its true colors is always cool.
|
People wonder why they keep smoking them c6 z06 motors.... hmmmm ragged edge motor with everything running at the limit, asshammer-moron credentialed drivers, QA via warranty.... hmmmm
If one of you goobs built a motor as ragged edge as the new z06 motor and planned to use it on the street, I'd call you a dumbass for building a race motor and putting it in a street car. |
lol
|
looks like it just dropped a valve. dunno if the intake or exhaust valves bigger on those, but the fires probably from that one valve being open constantly where it was broke. i still dont know how engines run as long as they do being metal against metal.
|
The fire is from the oil hitting the hot ass headers and cat's. That guy is lucky his back end didn't catch on fire.
|
LOL
|
this only happens to the 06-08 Z06's, they fixed it on the 09+ cars.
|
My dad has an 08 z06 and is about to take his in for the fix...He said it is happening more and more to the pre 09 models.
|
I had never heard of this problem before. I would have panicked if I had been driving behind him.
|
gnarly vid.
|
FULL OF WIN!
|
I would have shit myself if I was the guy in the car recording
Camaros transform into robots Vettes transform into fireballs:flamed: |

my z06's motor blew too.
I had postd pics of my blown z06 engine back in 06. edit: Heres my z06 engine in the back of my truck after i had blown it. The dealer had pulled it and then warranty didn't want to cover it since I had pulled the airbox off at the track. So i had to toss the engine int he back of a truck till the warranty finally covered it. Attachment 17380 heres my z06 without an engine. Attachment 17381 |
is that one of your "fine hoes" in the doorway...LOL.
you totally dousched up your Viper pic thread just by saying that. |
I figured this guy would chime in with another episode of "my" this and "my" that.
|
you guys just don't give the hell up do you? must you seriously hijack this thread about a Chevrolet corvette motor blowing up?

Didn't his ZO6 have 800hp or something? Or so he says. Whatever, a corvette engine blows up, same as any other engine can.

Damn, you guys really can't post without fighting?
@SPINz You mean they wouldn't cover it because you had unfiltered air flowing into the engine? What made it blow?? |
