No spray.

somewhere around 7000-7200 when it let go. I am thinking it started with a cast piston breaking apart and went down hill from there.

Thats pretty nice. When you have bits coming out the top of the motor through the heads and then back into the intake, its like not having a strong stomach and then seeing someone else throw up, #5 went because #6 did!

I was looking at the puzzle pieces again last night and found the other 1/2 of #6 big end of the rod. Both rod bolts are is in one piece. I have really started wondering how the big end broke apart completly off the rod journal with both bolts in one piece.
Any ideas?

Day-um. That is truly a total loss. I've never seen so many small, shredded parts spread everywhere like that. What did it sound like?
