you could use them for training videos as most of them make the engine death noise just before they blow.

Its a deep rumbling metalic noise of the bearings losing bearing sepration form the oil.

ie the bearings are now metal on metal.

Nice one

I just skimmed threw the video, but i thought all of the wheels were off of the vehicle. But it does look like a good way to remove a dent from a motorcycle gas tank.

the tyre reaction to heat is somthing i had never heard of but as i would neve weld any sealed container its not a problem.

i did know of a guy in a garage i worked at once who started to gas weld a petrol (gasoline) tank.

results were predictable he wont do it again ever.

its amazing how stupid some people are

Thank you for the info! Unfortunately, the people who will attempt to weld an enclosed container don't avail themselves to this website. I have learned much here and appreciate the intelligent comments, information and humor. Keep up the good work!
