What went wrong?
What went wrong? Stock L76 Engine from my G8 GT
Accelerated hard 0-80 and ka-boom at about 70 mph
Valve springs are good, Rod is connected tight. It is cylinder #5
looks like the piston fell apart and part of it was forced against the block making a hole on its way to the oil pan.... But why the failure?

To many rpms would be my guess. How many rpms was it turning when it blew? How many miles on the engine. I agree with S10xGN that oil pan looks nasty, I've taken pans off motors with over 200,000 miles and they looked better.
I was turning about 5500 rpms when it let loose.
