What makes the engine explode?

[Krinkle]

I revved too much and the engine exploded. What happened. Also I shifted gears and my engine also exploded. What didn't I do that makes an engine not explode? I tuned the carberator and the clicky clackers on the rockers and eveyrthing was good and then the engine exploded. Just wondering. I keep googling "my engline blew up" and nobody seems to have an answer.

This is gonna sound harsh and it's not meant to but learn to drive.

No serirously it's not meant to be horrible driving stick on a 90's car is very different to todays cars.

Edit: I should actually offer something so here it is,

Go on youtube and watch people driving the car in game and figure out what they are doing and why.

You revved too much and your engine exploded.

Did you change down to 1st while you had high revs? A typical symptom of this will be your car engine parts scattered all over the highway

While using the Stock Satsuma keep your revs under 3,500RPM, change down smoothly and don't go into first at high speed.

As soon as you can buy the Twin Carburetor and Racing Radiator, you should comfortably get your car to 7,500 RPM then. You still have to be careful when changing down.

"Peek" inside the engine block and see that your bolts for crankshafts and main bearings are all tightened up. There used to be a bug that occasionally opened some of these.

I generally don't down shift unless im under 5-6k rpm, good rule to follow and you still get some slight engine braking.
