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?
