Ouch!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

What happened? It looked like a rod went bye-bye, cracked the block, got the crank, and all other sorts of fun stuff. What was the engine doing when it happened?

You blew the engine. I trashed the chassis. We should get together.

Seriously, I'm looking for a rolling chassis. Email if you consider not rebuilding.

That makes me feel sick inside...

Do you know what caused it...??

Fireball

Figuring that one picture is of a snapped rod bolt...I'm guessing the rod bolt let go causing the piston hit the head, snapping the rod then going thru the side of the block (not necessarily in that order) but the rod bolt let go first I think. Its not the first instance of a snapped rodbolt I've heard of...

I think what fireball said is what happened. I have a feeling the motor didnt like the high shift points and let go. The sad thing was the motor only had 10k miles on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

The good thing is its already up and running after a 6 month wait. Man it sucks being young and broke

wicked, sorry to see it, i know how you feel, pictures look identical to mine

since that wasnt the origina motor may i ask who built it? or was it just a low miles car?

were all of the crank bearings burnt up or just the ones that went wrong.. could have been the oiling

I havent took the main caps off I just wanted to take the oil pan off to see what went wrong. Im pretty sure it was the rod bolt.
