Pretty sure itsa diesel think itsa Ford. Terrible just terrible.

I like the high pro cement block's holding up the engine. That's where I'm taking my shit

My guess would be the turbo crapped and the engine started sucking the oil fed to the turbo and ran away. RPM's will skyrocket in a hurry and you can do nothing to stop it. Have seen the carnage of this on a couple of semi diesels. Big holes in the block, pan, etc.

Yeah, my first impression was "why the hell are they using cement blocks to support that engine" (classy operation - that's where I would want my engine dyno'd). But when I went for a second look, I realized that they're cast iron "stacker blocks" that are bolted together, many larger machine shops use these for setting up large peices for machining. BTW that was one nasty blow up!

There's your problem. Also, that will just buff right out. That makes me not want to dyno my engine.

I had a dozer do that before! I was clearing around a old homesite and knocked the top out of a inground butane tank. It had been there about 25 years. Amazing it still had gas in it after all those years. It started sucking gas in the breather. It was screaming when it came unglued!!
