This week, you’ll find a full-on carnage clinic, with various failures—from all three brands—on full display. Bent and broken rods, dropped valves, cracked pistons, grenaded blocks, exploded CP4’s, smoked rod bearings, snapped crankshafts, and sheared transmission shafts. It’s all here for your viewing pleasure.
