LS2 threw a rod, but why?
LS2 threw a rod, but why? My best friend is in tech school in florida and needed someone to drive his car back to indiana for him since hes coming home in 2 weeks and couldnt drive 2 cars.. We made it 500 miles into kentucky and had it in 5th gear around 3k going uphill passing someone and all of a sudden the car just vibrated real quick and shut off. I looked in the rearview mirror and there was smoke everywhere. Short story, popped the hood and saw a rod hanging out. no other signs prior to this, towed the car home and pulled the plugs, there all white/greyish except for one, its BLACK, and its the one that the rods hanging out. could it have somehow hydrolocked? im just stumped as to why it threw a rod. Car has a daves wet kit, it was used one short burst about 3 months ago, and its been fine since than. Mods are pacesetter lts and vrx6 camshaft. any input would be appreciated.
