I can't stand sensless destruction like that.

Looks like they spent days trying to kill that thing, but didn't succeed. By the way, what's the NOACK of water when used as an engine oil?

 

[eljefino]

suspect the car was totalled beforehand. RF wheel looks pushed back. The motor is a slug of aluminum set for recycling either way.

 

[Cutehumor]

wouldn't it have been easier to kill if you remove the coolant?

 

[tamu_man]

I'll have to remember that, if my car won't start, just add more water to the crankcase.

That video would have been far better if it wasn't set to music. I'd actually like to hear the engine!

Great advertisement for Honda. Not surprising that this took place in a trailer park. Darwin must have missed these guys.

I think we all just found the perfect car/engine for our wives and daughters "So that is what that little light means" wouldn't quite matter so much! Brian

It isn't set to music. That's the LOUD music these yahoos had playing while they were doing this. You can hear the engine through the music as well as them talking. Given how long it took this engine to lock up with nothing but water in the crankcase, I'd say anyone who worries about running 5w20 in a Honda needs to find something else to worry about.

Isn't that a fact.

Very sad that they resort to this un-necessary stupidity,really makes my blood cringe.

 

[heynow]

More of a scientific experiment, really

 

[nicholas]

Wow, Thats too bad, some morons did this to a well built engine. It is probably laid to rest on some guys trailer park lawn, serving out as his "guest room", for visitors, or the new babys room....

"Juste for info. The engine was burning 2 liter of oil every 1000 kilometers . The has now a B16 engine (stock) and is running 13.991 on the quarter mile." Supposedly, that was posted by one of the people who made the video.

At one time I worked in a auto scrap yard for about 7 years. At the begining we often tried to kill engines before we scraped them. I found that an engine is harder to destroy then I had thought. The ironic part was, after finishing a day of destruction, I get into my personal car which I kept care of and it has a rod knock. No I did not scrap it. I fixed it but it was a close call for me not to finish it off. After all, thats what I did best.

 

[Pontius Pilate]

makes me feel better about my d15.... wow.

 

[reyjay1]

Stupid, yes, Interesting or impressive, no.

That video is an incredible demonstration of Honda engine durability. Honda should be proud of that one...no way ever could a GM or Ford survive that. Thats not a knock against either of those makes, just a fact.
