For a probable cause of this explosion, read an article entitled: Damage Prevention from Diesel Crankcase explosions by A. C. Cavileer, Head, Large Diesel Engines Branch, Internal Combustion Engines Laboratory, US Naval Engineering Experiment Station, Annapolis, MD. It's in a copy of Enginemens Magazine, Feb 1952, page 105.
