Hey Jesse! That thingamajig that hangs over the end of a sparkplug is called the electrode 😂 just thought you fellas might appreciate that bit of knowledge
Glad the motor is not blown up. Lots of conclusions were jumped to, and questioning a top tier motor builder. That Draime got y’all into the World 100.
That "thingy majigger" is called the ground strap on the plug. And he could very well be correct on his plug to piston contact theory. There was clearance until the engine got plenty of heat in it and the piston swelled. I'm a bit surprised the same type plugs were not reinstalled as came out during the change.
Joshua, Thank you for going the extra mile to bring us along during the speculation and discovery phases! To the entire HTF Team, Great perseverance! The W’s will continue! 🏁👍🏼
Love the positivity in these guys and the awareness in Joseph to shut the car off and save it from major catastrophic problems. Send it to Jay and get it back right.
I hate this happened right before your big event. I don’t think the spark plug caused that much piston damage, you got something else rattling around inside that cylinder. I certainly hope there isn’t too much damage. Loved the banter between you guys.
I'm catching up on your videos. Shame about the engine, but GREAT catch on shutting it down. The plug didn't hit the piston, or they ALL would have. I agree with some thing got in there... But my problem with that is, it should have happened immediately on start up. With the heavy mud, it is likely the motor detonated and broke a ring land. Just my two cents.....
Look into running autolite 33x spark plugs. No electrode it runs off of 3 points in the plug so it can’t get hit and nothing fall in motor. We run them in our 430 small blocks and big blocks.
Amen! You think after being around this type stuff as long as he has he would be a lot smarter and want to learn as much as possible. No offense but I knew more than him about dirt cars engines and Chassis when I was 15
Something got into intake and hammered that piston. If the piston hit the plug (unlikely) it clearanced immediately. Probably a small screw or washer off the carburetor. Maybe from the butterfly shaft?? Who knows. Whatever it was did a number on that piston. I enjoyed seeing Betsy running. Great job guys.
Good though, with a bore scope they should be able to look up at the head . What you think? That would help explained why it looked like 3 spots on the top of the piston that wer hit , and the plug closed. I like your idea to what happened best, even more than my guess 👍
It did appear that piston had contact on valve relief. With that, no way spark plug made contact with piston on the relief. Just impossible. I agree with you. Something had to enter the cylinder.
Jessie you’re thought process was completely wrong from the get go even if the plug was a little longer and incorrectly indexed the odds of just one plug making contacting is low.
@@burnychaplin4601 Okay the POINT being made was the ORIGINAL plugs they were using were a flat faced plug with out an extended ground strap , where as the NEW plugs installed were with the strap protruding off of the side ,, HENCE the need to INDEX it so that it will miss the piston at TDC. Regards J
I love that a fellow Canadian helped y'all out with the 'scope! I hope the damage is easily repaired, but the Draime's been waiting for another chance like this. Let's go!
I agree with other comments here in that I love the positivity. In a world full of negatives the guys always find a way to stay upbeat and not let the lows get them down! Now hopefully y'all did well with the backup!
If the spark plugs were that critical, the engine builder would (should) have told you....Do you know if that engine has aluminum rods ??...Don't ignore that clink sound heard with cover removal....Actually, you are better off having the builder tear it down and inspect as you currently do not have the means and background to properly assess it...
The motor doesn’t have aluminum rods in all my 26 years of latemodel racing I have never seen a aluminum rod in a oval track motor. Aluminum rods are heavier than a steel rod to get the stability back. You don’t have a complete understanding of this issue .
@@woodywood7759 26 years of super racing so you might climb back into that hole you came out of because just from your original comment you exhibit a lack of knowledge.
interesting info on the spark plugs...there was a video shot of the plugs installed on the freshened engine from JD. They were center-fired electrodeless plugs. What seems to have been damaged is a conventional plug with the raised electrode...which was hit by something...piston? SOOOO>>>why did the boys change out those electrodeless plugs that the builder put in?

It was phenomenal because we always were in the infield where the cars and driver's were. You could mix and mingle as long as they weren't rushing to fix something or tweak it to get a tad more speed!!!
My 1000 mile away gut feeling is something ran through the motor. If it really was a spark plug clearance issue you would have seen damage on more than one cylinder. You also gotta imagine it would have happened during hot laps, on it's first heat cycle. Not 20 laps into the new plugs.
If you didn't have a backup car you probably could have safely run it with the scarred up piston, but y'all made the right call. Especially how expensive those motors are!
I've had a very similar experience, Check that there is no screws or washers missing off the carburettor. Something has entered the combustion chamber and rattled around
spun bearing would have normally resulted in OP issues. We used to sharpie the plugs with a line for the electrode to ensure the electrode was indexed away from the piston. Normally had to go through a couple of boxes to get enough that lined up right.
That was my thought exactly when they changed the plugs a couple of days ago.. Then they changed the the gear to buzz it a little higher. Always index the plugs.
Depends on clearance. Some engine piston,plug,valve combos it's a non issue. From what I seen I think something got in the cylinder. That looked to get more then just the spot under the plug to me. I'm sure we'll find out in the next couple weeks.
@@1clnsdime1 Andrew from the scope pictures it looked like the damage was somewhat localized with some slightly spread. If the head escaped any issues, they may be able to get buy only needing a new piston. Not sure the thickness of those pistons but we had a slight "Ding" in one from a floated valve and we had enough material to safely Dremel the area down smooth and remount the head without issues going forward.
There are so many different factors that could have caused that plug issue. Without having the head off the motor. You can't tell. I've seen it in many different ways. The only thing I can say. Is if the plug was in too "deep". All the other plugs would have been just like it. It could just very well be something in the Head failed.
I agree with you though also if it were just the matter of the plug being too long you'd think it would have happened sooner. My uneducated guess is either a foreign object entered the combustion chamber or possibly top compression ring failed, hit the piston/plug and exited the exhaust port. Time will tell lol.
@@MosinMan76254 my best guess without being there. One of the valve springs failed. Went into the chamber and everything. Either that or a retainer ring failed and found its way into the chamber. It's for sure not a spark plug being too long.
Or a low spot on the deck surface didn't clean up. Or the head.surface. . I always put plugs in with heads off my engine. Should have .002. With the plug installed in the head combustion chamber. Or there is a mismatched plug.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me 🙏 We love watching and love the Hunt The Front crew and family ❤️
The other half of the conversation is why only one piston hitting the plug? That could mean a bottom end bearing or something letting loose to allow that piston to travel higher than normal.
I would say the way it looked on that borescope you might have a little bit of problem with the cylinder walls or the valves where they've hit up there
Looking through the comments already posted, I can't help but laugh at how many ideas about what went wrong. What Dirt Daddy seen the plug and says hmmm, (we knew what that meant). But, on the bright side of this gloomy night! You have a repairable motor, a back up complete race ready car AND, a spare bullet. Love the video's and very nice to have Dirt Daddy back around (missed ya DD). Sorry about the unfortunate luck, but happy y'all have built the HTF racing program into this big of a program, to have this many options. Thanks for letting us tag along with you, I'm very curious what Jay Dickens says about what rattled on top of that piston. Keep us informed.....I know you will.
Joseph said that motor by shutting it off and pouring off the racetrack he saved that motor from being very bad that is a good race car driver to catch something like that before it went before it brew from up cannot wait to see the video from y'all racing and cannot wait to see y'all's videos when y'all go next weekend and race y'all are awesome UA-camrs that I want to say thank you
Part of racing my friends ... yep, hate it -- but true! Quick adjustment on the change, nice work HTF Crew. Finding the problem for fixing. Let's get ready for the big event ........ Let's Goooooooo!!!! Always the Bestest!!!! Be Safe
If that spark plug was to long it would Have been a problem from the get go ? Right ? I don’t think it would have takin multiple runs to bend the electrode . Especially when they can dam Near be bent by hand power ! ? All the spark plugs would Have the same problem . Or did they and I missed that part .
Looks like the motor swallowed a errant nut or bolt, down the intake. past open intake valve, makes a hell of a mess when something loose is banging around in the cylinder at high rpm.
We're you able to bend scope around to look at valves, maybe a piece of valve broke, that's to bad, the car looked fast, hang in there boys , go get em htf.
For SURE it has to go back to JD for a full tear-down and rebuild. The rest is just say-so. Reading the posts from many guys who probably know their stuff, it's clear that something isn't right on that jug. Let's wait and see what JD says after the rebuild.
I'd look close at the valves and see if a retainer dropped out. I have seen it where it looked ok just sitting but removing the rocker you would see the valve sitting oddly with only one retainer in it. Pop the intake valve off that cylinder and check it. That piston will need replaced as it's all out of balance now and those tiny ridges could cause pre-ignition issues at higher rpm as they will heat up and glow and act like a glow plug. Great job shutting it down quickly Joseph, that could have been ugly and expensive if you hadn't done that.
If I made anyone mad I was not intended to I am very sorry for that. They are alot of us that like to see different things you guys do a great job just keep digging good luck

That "thingy majigger" is called the ground strap on the plug. And he could very well be correct on his plug to piston contact theory. There was clearance until the engine got plenty of heat in it and the piston swelled. I'm a bit surprised the same type plugs were not reinstalled as came out during the change.

Well looks like I won't be back from Gatlinburg in time for the showcase. But will catch it on PPV. Good luck. Do wish I could be there 😔
Spun bearing making the rod longer,
All plugs should be indexed when installed. Electrode opening facing towards piston and trying to maintain a 12 o clock position when tight.
