I've been thinking about a triple compound turbo setup myself, prolly should think further.. (smiles)
 
I like one of the comments that calls it a RUD. Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.
 
A boaters luck, when the motor blew it would shove right through the bottom of the boat.
 
Link doesn't work for me.

Ok, where did the cylinder head go?

Was it my imagination or did it push the sleeves up as well as tossing the cylinder head?
 
I'm not seeing the cylinder head either, I suspect it's still bolted to the part of the block that broke away from the crankcase. Musta' had casting porosity something terrible, or not.
 
The more I think about it the more I convince myself that was the cylinder head that took flight. I get that impression because it took the turbos and manifolds with it. I ran it at slower speed and took a print screen. I guess the block split quite nicely.

Yep, you're right, that is the head with cylinders separated from the crankcase still attached.
 
It's more than just "a" head. The entire top half of a V-12 came out in one piece. There's a dozen liners sticking out when it Flips over.
 
Next time, go with Cummins.:cool:
 
Jb weld or marine tex?
 
I see the upper half of an inline six, laying front to back, valve cover down in front of that truck.
 
When it hits the ground and rolls it looks like there's another set of liners sticking out. It could be a manifold. Hard to tell when you can't stop the video.
 
He must have been running it at 1200 rpm for too long.
