What happens when a Cat V16 4700cc engine explodes

Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.

How much torque does a motor like that produce (before its blown into a million pieces that is)?

A "B" model 3516 makes over 8,100 lb•ft at 1,200 rpm

I thought most of those large trucks were driven by electric motors?

Most of the newer large dump trucks are going that way.

Must have forgotten the dowel pins..

Iv worked on a bunch of 3500 and 3600´s but Iv never seen one grenade like that.

77 liter engine is going to be expensive to replace. If I was the driver I would have just said the damn thing exploded.

LOL, I bet the first thing out of the Cat rep's mouth was, "motherfucker, you HAD to have heard that thing coming apart!"
