What Causes an Engine to Blow Up?

[EmeryFitz]

The causes of an engine blow-up are: 1. Poor engine cooling, causing the operating temperature to exceed the designed tolerance; 2. Insufficient lubrication due to low-quality engine oil or poor circulation; 3. Inaccurate adjustment of the engine's intake/exhaust system and ignition timing; 4. Excessive engine workload. Methods to handle an engine blow-up: 1. Ensure the engine is turned off and cooled, then remove the radiator cap; 2. Open the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator to let the coolant flow into a bucket; 3. Close the drain plug and refill the radiator with water; 4. Start the engine, turn on the heater control system, add cooling system cleaner, and let the engine idle for 30 minutes; 5. Turn off the engine and let it cool for 5 minutes, then drain the liquid from the radiator; 6. Close the drain plug, refill the radiator with water, let the engine idle for 5 minutes, then refill with a water and coolant mixture.
