I've never seen a radial engine with the rows so straight and not staggered.
Here is how multi row radials are supposed to look.  |

Looks to me like it was too awesome for one vehicle.

The comments with the video said that the tractor was converted from diesel to methanol. I may be wrong but I believe that methanol burns blue. Those were orange flames. If it was a liquid fire, wouldn't the bucket brigade have spread it across the ground?

A bucket brigade? And they weren't even trained well enough to form a line and spill half of the water passing it down the line. Amateurs.

Sure looks and sounds like a valve failure which led to obviously much larger problems.

Blew a valve.
They REALLY suck. The Rolling Stones that is.  Quoted: I've never seen a radial engine with the rows so straight and not staggered. Here is how multi row radials are supposed to look. NOT a real "radial" engine. It looked like (6) V8's arranged in a star, and it probably had a centralized driven gear that went to a tranny. Technically, it was just a few V8's tied-together with duct tape and lutefisk. |

Technically, it was just a few V8's tied-together with duct tape and lutefisk. It's 7, 6-cylinder engines. It's neat and all, but that's a shit-pot of machinery that's gotta all be running perfectly. Radial engines always have an odd number of cylinders in each "row". This engine has the 6 "rows" all together on a common block. |

Looks like it dropped a cylinder(s), then an oil fire.
