Re: Anyone grenade their stock bottom end?

Happened to me accelerating on an on-ramp with just basic bolt-ons and the family on board. I think the timing chain broke first and then bounced the pistons off the valves resulting in one broken piston, 3 broken rods, and a broken block. The GM tech was not sure if the chain went first or a rod went first (one broke the bolts) and the shock broke the chain. Not good either way!

I bought the car used with 48k on it and the engine went with 63k. I take care of it but pound on it regularily - I don't think the previous lease owner took care of it at all.
