i won't win but i'll play. This happened to my 35K mile CETA

Smoked the #7 piston and spun two bearing, #5 and #6; those bearing were fused to the rods and wouldn't come off. The crank is now a paperweight and the block needs a new sleeve


EDIT: due to this slow *** interent over here I can't upload the pics

I won't win either, but I'll play too..

broken ringland on #5 cylinder from my stock LS1:



It also put a hairline crack in the block in the cylinder sleeve there too on the stock LS1, but I have no picture of that.

Here is the most recent carnage on the LS6 I replaced it with:



Happened to notice that beauty after tearing apart the top end to check things out after my LS6 intake manifold blew up:



Currently workin on putting together a 370 iron block with BBK manifold... Hopefully I won't have any carnage pics from this. That **** gets expensive!

This was the sttock engine in my Formula. It hydrolocked when I went to start it after sitting through some rain on jack stands:

See posts 1 and 19 for pictures.

The best carnage I've ever seen was from Brad8266 where it ripped the front corner of the block off.
