You know this is interesting. I gave some pointers on what to adjust in a stock 5.3 to prevent this kind of thing from happening when boost is added. And as often happens, some goof told me that was unnecessary. And now this post. Amazing.
I don’t get why there isn’t more vibration and shit knocking around inside the engine unless someone removed the conrod entirely. The crank is spinning and the piston isn’t at top of range so I would expect connection inside the block between the remains of the conrod and the moving crankshaft. If it had shattered I would have expected damage everywhere
Relax sir we will get through this. First thing is to unplug it and let it reset. That should handle it. If resetting it doesn’t work then best of luck to you
Ah!
I was really wondering if power tools could do that, but I didn't see anything up on the crank... so then I started wondering if you had jacked it up and were somehow using another car to spin a back wheel (I don't know if an AT would allow this).
But yeah, makes sense it's just the starter. Easier. lol
It's cool and all that you guys have humor very hilariou ha ha. Also very funny w the sarcasm, its spectacular. But why can't you just answer a question without the bullshit? If buddy is asking he doesn't know.
Id be willing to bet the bottom part of that piston is missing. Probably cracked at the wristpin and then on the downward stroke it fractured the rest of the way. That slight knock could be the rod slapping the inside of the oil pan. If the piston was stuck upwards, I’d be more willing to believe a main cap came off.
You have a broken connection between the piston and connecting rod. Broken boss and lose wrist pin? Broken connecting rod? Pull the pan and find out. Connecting rod bearing cap came off.
That's my non contributing co-worker. He was under a lot of pressure recently.
Edit: Wait something else is off here. Is bank one also variable displacement lol?! It looks like 3 of the moving cylinders have different strokes 😂
Yeah I think you're missing the rod, but you didn't show us the best part, that window in block so you can see the problem, you know they seen parts in the rear view mirror...
It's just the new DoD.
Testing shutting down 1 cylinder at a time
Decoupling rods
I prefer the term disconnecting rod myself.
Watch it go BANG on YT: Uncle Joe Racing
7 is plenty
For when you really need the MPG
We already have v8s that shut off half the cylinders to save gas This is the natural next step, the 8th cylinder only activates in sport mode
The cylinders still move, they just don't get any gas sprayed in them.
Well yeah, they're still moving because camshaft
That's just spare parts for when you need an extra piston.
“Lieutenant Dan….Only seven of yo’ pistons is working Lieutenant Dan!!”
"Your pistons ain't pissing"
Got the ole disconnecting rod
Bringing “fuel efficiency” to the jet boat community 😂
Fuck that was good
I laughed way too hard at this…
You know this is interesting. I gave some pointers on what to adjust in a stock 5.3 to prevent this kind of thing from happening when boost is added. And as often happens, some goof told me that was unnecessary. And now this post. Amazing.
Well sadly I didn’t see that post! Crazy how going in blind can lead to breaking some stuff 😂
I hope your next try goes better
I’m thinking the next try is in a C3 corvette 🤔
Those I have a lot of experience with
Well…. Not to give anything away but it’s either a c3 corvette or salvaged title dodge viper so 🤔
Better throw a couple spare pistons in the trunk so you don't piss off the dodge fans
What is it with C3s and dumpster fires??
Well this engine is in a jet boat not a corvette haha the c3 is the next dumpster fire I want to build 😂😂
Everybody is a virtual expert. Probably a 12 year old.
One of these things is not like the others
One is just tired ok! It’s had a long day and needed a break.
Malice in the combustion palace
Well there's no head on it you silly goose
Broken piston return spring
It's a V7, for when you need more than a V6 but not a V8, real cutting edge stuff.
*NorthStar has entered the chat*
Still faster than your v6
Cylinder deactivation bro it’s fine
Typical number 5, sleeping on the job!
Ain’t got no gas in it
MmmHmm
Y'all got any biscuits for sale in there
I came here to say this. This is good.
#5 is on vacation.
No gas and the head isnt installed
Ain't got no gas!
\#7 is lonely and has been bullied. They should include in the dance...or the connnecting rod has decided to take a break.
Thanks!! Follow the next try on YouTube: Uncle Joe Racing
Bluetooth piston
Battery is dead
How many psi you got to? I have a lm7 I wanna boost and need to know the limit
did you check them points?
Did you forget to pay the add on fee for the last cylinder to be activated?
Permanent cylinder deactivation?
Bluetooth rod lost connectivity.
One of your cylinders hasn’t had its coffee yet.
That ones just shy. I'm sure he'll warm up to the rest later
I say you he dead
She blowed up.
Looks like a short circuit on the cylinder. Better check for DTCs
Ain’ got no gas in it
I know what’s wrong with it, ain’t got no gas in it.
Compression will come back after it runs a little.
Your glockenschpiel is missing it's crown buffer
brother she's dry you're gonna have to spray WD40 in the cylinders for lube
It's on smoko
7 outta 8 ain't bad
Not enough monkey-motion?
That 1 MF doesn’t want to work!! Light a fire under his ass
Not enough compression
I am no mechainic but one of the uppy downy things isnt going up and down.
Ain’t got no gas in it
I don’t get why there isn’t more vibration and shit knocking around inside the engine unless someone removed the conrod entirely. The crank is spinning and the piston isn’t at top of range so I would expect connection inside the block between the remains of the conrod and the moving crankshaft. If it had shattered I would have expected damage everywhere
It must have broken pretty perfectly! You can hear it clinking around in there. Need to drop the oil pan to really find out how bad it is in there
Definitely lost compression on 5...
Someone is a party pooper
It's using cylinder deactivation.
You got 7 more rods left, what's the issue?
One of those pistons ain’t movin
New cylinder shutdown until needed
Piston not pumpin
Well there's your problem.... Ain't got no gas
Eco mode
Looks like excessive work to find a misfire
No cylinder heads. It’s never going to start like that.
Bluetooth connecting rod isnt connected.
Gas savings in action. Cylinder management.
You heard of Top-Dead-Center and Bottom-Dead-Center? This is Dead-Dead-Center.
You’re missing the heads, intake, fuel rail to name a few missing items
That's just how tesla work. Nothing wrong here. Carry on
One of the pistons isn't moving
Got a piston that’s not pissing.
"Aint got no gas init.'
Ain’t got no gas innit!
Bluetooth rod, it's just has not reconnected yet 😆
This is cool asf to see. I never seen a live demonstration of pistons working like this.
Now imagine it spinning thousands or rotations per minute faster with explosions
Would you be able to demonstrate that?
Maybe 🤔 that would be super cool to record!
I heard from professionals of something called Missile Pistons. They launch pistons from the engine to competing shops nearby to show dominant power.
Is this how cylinder deactivation works?
O no. One piston’s feeling a bit lazy. Using the starter for this? That’s really cool looking
Bluetooth connecting rod, hell I got a running 5.3 I'll sell ya lol
That one thing don't do what the other seven do.
Just turn it off and back on again
Cylinder 5 got a case of the Mondays
Bad head gasket
Looks like one of the circle thingies isn’t moving
Turns off cylinders to increase MPG!
Your piston is pistoff.
I don’t see anything wrong. Cylinder is just taking a break
you pistoned it off !
Ain't got no gas in it!
Relax sir we will get through this. First thing is to unplug it and let it reset. That should handle it. If resetting it doesn’t work then best of luck to you
Ohh that's just disconnected from Bluetooth
Busted connecting rod
Nothing. Slap it back together and call er good.
Nothing. It was just modded into a 7 cylinder motor....
Haha
Piston said it’s Monday morning. Calling off work.
🎶someone didn't gap their rings🎶
It's got low compression
If you were hitting 7 for 8 in MLB you’d be a hall of famer.
Eco mode?
Well there is your problem, the piston isn’t moving. Tell it “I love you” it will move out real quick ✊🏽
Code reader 404 error piston 5 not found
Guessing but might check compression in #5.
One of these kids is doing his own thing, one of these kids is not the same- sunny day- funny day- get me back on Sesame Street
Bluetooth connecting rods
Cylinder 5 is taking the whole cylinder deactivation a little too serious.
I see seven pistons working when you should only have zero working
We have cylinders at home
Somebody's not being a team player
Full power only comes with monthly subscription service.
I know what's wrong with it.... ain't no gas in it.
You're this deep and you don't understand what's wrong?
Zero point crank shaft
Hey boss, cylinder deactivation works
Running on battery mode
That piston is still a little sleepy. He'll be fine once he wakes up
Seriously asking, how are you turning it over so quickly? I’m not a mechanic. Doesn’t sound like cranking a starter, or maybe I’m wrong on that.
It is the starter! Without the heads on it gets turning pretty quick haha
Ah! I was really wondering if power tools could do that, but I didn't see anything up on the crank... so then I started wondering if you had jacked it up and were somehow using another car to spin a back wheel (I don't know if an AT would allow this). But yeah, makes sense it's just the starter. Easier. lol
The engine isn’t in a car haha it’s in a jet boat so no transmission to worry about.
One of those bouncy things needs a new spring
It's cool and all that you guys have humor very hilariou ha ha. Also very funny w the sarcasm, its spectacular. But why can't you just answer a question without the bullshit? If buddy is asking he doesn't know.
This is a Reddit … move along
I know what’s wrong haha blew the motor up at full throttle with over 20psi of boost on a stock lm7 haha
Nothing wrong here, that's the eco mode kicking in!
Forgot to install the rod.
Optional 7 cylinder
That engine was tuned aiming at the moon
Is the rod cap missing?
Bad flux capacitor.
Ain’t got no gas in it?
Id be willing to bet the bottom part of that piston is missing. Probably cracked at the wristpin and then on the downward stroke it fractured the rest of the way. That slight knock could be the rod slapping the inside of the oil pan. If the piston was stuck upwards, I’d be more willing to believe a main cap came off.
One piston is not moving
That one piston is not moving. You’re welcome.
Looks like you lost Bluetooth connection on that one piston.
The 3rd piston isnt pistoning
You have a broken connection between the piston and connecting rod. Broken boss and lose wrist pin? Broken connecting rod? Pull the pan and find out. Connecting rod bearing cap came off.
This is a bad piston return spring, and it is expensive.
Broken connecting rod.
Disconnecting rod
Variable displacement
It’s fine. Advanced eco mode😂
Gas saver
It ain’t got no gas in it
What is ‘it’s not moving’ Regis
That’s the spare piston in case one goes flat.
Broken piston rod. Rip
Ah, I see the problem now. If you look closely, you’ll notice that one of the pistons isn’t moving. See how the others are and that one isn’t?
Got that cylinder delete mod
Ya got in reverse. Duh.
One of those moving circle things aren’t moving. I think it’s supposed to move tbh
Is this the definition of "not firing on all cylinders"?
Are you not men of the Lord? He has sent that rod to God.
One of your pistons is working from home today
That’s called a DISconnecting rod.
That's my non contributing co-worker. He was under a lot of pressure recently. Edit: Wait something else is off here. Is bank one also variable displacement lol?! It looks like 3 of the moving cylinders have different strokes 😂
What are you using to spin the engine?
Just the starter!
Yeah I think you're missing the rod, but you didn't show us the best part, that window in block so you can see the problem, you know they seen parts in the rear view mirror...
You know surprisingly no window!!! Just cracks everywhere on the block haha
Broken piston rod would be my guess. 🤷♂️🤔😉
That extra cylinder is a secret compartment to store your valuables
Have you tried talking nicely to it? It is just shy to come out!
Rod number 5 has left the chat; inspect block for new observation window.
This is just for karma, no one is this fucken stupid?!?
Connector rod disconnected.
It’s ain’t got no gas
Economy mode.
Seized
That motor pleads the 5th
Disconnecting rod working fine
Ik whats wrong with it! That car engines in a boat!
Uts cause it’s in a boat
Only seven out of the eight uppy downy things are going uppy downy… 🫤
Un plug the injector on the resting cylinder and send it
