Never saw that movie, moonlight. But I have seen it happen in reality. Low octane gas in about a 11:1 compression ratio gas engine on an oval track. Preigntion cracked the head, warped then broke the OHC, valves got loose and shrapnel themselves. Opened up the water jacket and instant steam bath behind the car. No flame, not as spectacular as your movie. Guy was garaged next to me, and he'd flushed about a $5,000 engine because of trying to save some bucks and using octane booster instead of ponying up the money for high octane gas. Pretty stupid. Not pretty to look at either. Actually! I remember seeing a more spectacular version. Fuel dragster. Too much need for speed -- too rich on the nitromethane (and these were guys who'd been brewing that stuff for a lot of years). Head came right off the engine. Mucho flames! Spectacular to see it happen -- sad to see all those expensive engine parts turn to junk. Steve
