What would this do...

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

Ok ok that's a good start.  What I need though is a problem(s) that wouldn't
leave the motor totalled. Because it would still be running visibly ok.
I'm looking for symptoms which I could use to prove to somebody that the
motor has been abused.  ahem... how do I put it... If there aren't any metal
chips in the drained oil, they can certainly be added ;}

shhhh.

humm I had a car that did that one day.. start -40c outside, carb got
stuck.... 5 seconds 7500 RPM... BLAM!
...flywheel snapped off tranny, half of it in the cockpit area, (RWD) ,
piston arms snapped (2) and other boken head/block/tranny parts laying below
car.

when its cold.... let the car warn up... if it "cold" below freezing, let it
run 1 min and drive off normally..

=>Hey guys,
=>
=>Just a little fun question to throw at you.  Does anybody have
=>any detailed
=>examples of what might happen If I were to run my motor at really
=>high RPM's
=>while it's cold, perhaps repeatedly.
=>
=>I'm looking for things like metal chips in the oil, loss of compression,
=>etc.  I need realistic answers to things that would actually
=>happen, so that
=>I can explain them as if they did happen and somebody would
=>believe me, even
=>a mechanic, or an insurance adjuster or something.
=>
=>Go nuts.
=>
=>Vince
