What's happening here? Mechanically speaking.

It's like the entire motor is melting.

looks like thermite

That's what I mean, or why I'm wondering. I've never seen anything like that. Wondering what conditions sometimes like this could happen inside of a motor. Reducing the damn thing to slag.

I figured if the motor overheated enough it would just seize up, but it appears to still be running.

Fuel line broke somewhere?
Trying to flow into the engine but it's falling out, getting heated, and then getting exposed to the air and combusting. Eventually other parts start lighting up and popping off.

Aircraft mech here. Mechanically it's an internal engine failure sufficient to break the crankcase, perhaps a thrown connecting rod. The running engine beats itself further to pieces internally. The fire you see is burning crancase oil.

it looks like he's trying to do a burnout, but instead of controlling it with the break he is using the clutch and as a result the gearbox is melting and dripping out of the air intake.

a spitfire wouldn't do that.

If that's a Hellcat, the R-2800 engine used to have a solid piece magnesium housing under there which held the magneto, reduction gears and some other electrical stuff.
So once that catches fire, its gunna burn

Fuel leak somewhere around the back of the engine caught fire, burning fuel pours out from under the cowl, engine either stalls from fuel starvation or the pilot is smart enough to kill it.

>Crankcase break

Well shit, that thing's not flying again.

I did my best. Remember me.

The entire engine case is made from magnesium.

I have had a Connecting rod failure on a radial engine, it did beat itself up, but kept running. The case was never compromised. It is impossible for an engine fire to start on oil.
When oil burns it just turns into white smoke. Pretty harmless.

What we are seeing is definitely molten magnesium from the case, which probably means there was a fuel leak to get hot enough to melt the magnesium. Once the case catches fire, it's over. No way to put out that fire without special fire suppression.
