top 10 ways to kill an engine
just wondering if anybody's got any cool ideas to kill an engine. i'm workin on a top 10 list. my "best" idea so far is to hook up a tube with a bunch of bbs suspended over the carb with a trap door hooked up with a long string and then start the engine , drop a brick on accelerator , run away , then pull the string to release the bbs and see what happens. any other ideas?

Drain the radiator and hit the freeway, it worked for me. Or do like my buddy, and put 39" tires on a bronco with a stock 302 and stock gears and remove the air cleaner. Of course that was a slow painful death. He wanted a reason to install a 351.

fill the crankcase with 3 gals of gasoline, remove a spark plug, knock a hole in the piston, use a VERY long remote starter device,
do the brick accelerater thing then start it!

Pump it full of sugar
put brick on gas pedal, let rev till it'll rev no more
sand in cylinders, crank over alot
I am pretty good at the breaking of that engine, just don't ask me how to fix it afterwards

Personally I like the 450 shot of NOS without extra fuel to go with it. Makes for nice crystalized valves and melted pistons.
Oh and don't forget scouring powder in the crank case oil. bores everything over for you, shaves the conrods, eats the oil pump, kills the lifters and cam, and so on....

the only problem is how many have access to a .50 cal M2, GAL 16, or XM-218? I know I do but I can't bring it home to shoot the engine. If you want to get midevil on it then use an incinerary grenade to melt through the top of the intake and through the block? It'll keep burning through the concrete or pavement too!

Give the vehicle to my daughter to drive for an extended period of time! Engine replacement, trans rebuild and body shop work will be inevitable
jeesh!

Have you guys ever heard of a thermite reaction? Basically it is very small aluminum filings mixed with iron(III) oxide (rust) and ignited with something like a fourth of july sparkler, it gets hot enough to convert the rust into liquid iron in a couple of seconds. My idea: Take off air cleaner, put a styrofoam or paper coffee cup full of this stuff on top of carb, light sparkler (use a long one so you have some time) start it, brick on the gas pedal, see how cool your cylinders look when they're full of molten iron afterward

Lock the throttle wide open, start it up and at max rpm pour a gallon jug of water down the carb. It'll hydraulic lock the pistons and blow the crank out of the oil pan.

Watch out for guns!!!!
A friend has a "for real" Shelby mustang.
One night while out doing a little stop light to stop light action. He out ran the other guy pretty bad......the looser pulled up next to him and shot the engine with a 357 mag. That slug went through the front fender and into the block....I was in the passenger seat.

Hope you got the loser's tag number. Thanks to some anti-gang laws here; anyone firing a weapon from a vehicle "in the general direction of another individual", (aka. "drive by"), can be tried for attempted murder.
