With the large amount of CCV issues, we need a failsafe
I can't believe we have so many CCV posts when the weather gets cold. Blowing con rods from your engine is no joke. There are many I am sure who have lost their investment and their X over not being able to buy a new engine.
I think it is time we find a failsafe. What would you say about a pressure release valve like a blow off valve installed on the spark plugs in the style of a spark plug non-fouler? All you would need to do is create a non fouler style cylinder with a pressure fail seam in the middle that would release at the specific pressure point designed. It wouldn't even need moving parts, just a pre-ribbed seam.
As the normal pressures of the cylinder were reached everything would hold fine. If there was a catastrophic failure inside that made the pressure greatly increase the seam in the pressure cylinder would fail and blow it's top allowing the oil to shoot straight out the plug hole. "Popping it's top" dispersing of the spark plug in it's way.
Being just a piece of metal you could manufacture these for pennies and sell them cheap. It would affect so any BMW across the board using these engines.
