OK so today was a very shitty day for me. My usual routine became a nightmare today, I don't drive my dsm much at all so I start her her up about 2-3 times a week just to keep everything flowing and keep my battery in good shape. Well today that took a very unusual turn that blew up my freshly built 7 bolt stroker
. I jumped in, sat and grinned at the the beauty of my beast
I stuck the key in the ol ignition to hear my motor rumble like usual and it did..... for about 5 seconds. Suddenly for no reason whatsoever it revved up completely all the way to redline and stayed there no matter what I did. I frantically shut the ignition off, nothing, pegged all the way to 9k,turned off the timer,nothing, still pegged, put my foot under accelerator pedal to see if it had gotten stuck somehow and it wasnt, yet still wouldn't unrev. So me in panic mode popped the hood yanked the battery cables off still stayed running,redlined, and after about 3 minutes of constant redline, BOOOOMMM, shot a cylinder and a rod out the side of the block. Now what in the hell could have caused this weird mishap to just rev for no reason and why it kept running after all the power was cut???
