Guy needs an accusump, I'm guessing all the turns with little to no oil going to the engine led to the thing grenading itself. Baffled pan with extra oil capacity and an accusump would have helped ALOT

You bent two rods huh? Surely you are talking about push rods....

This is actually a couple of years old, and was posted up by the owner/driver on the Purdue Automotive Performance board. He was running a quart high, no accusump, and the culprit was, of course, starvation.

Holes and cracks in the block, 1 + 3 pistons cracked, some rod pieces wedged between the block and the crank, metal wedged between cam lobe and cylinder. Just a mess...

Guy had it back together in just 2-3 months I believe.

I dont know how you think he JAMMED it into gear... It was a simple rev match as he down shifted... It definitely was not a high enough RPM to over rev, just listen to the RPMs. It was well within a safe zone...

Oil starvation plain and simple.

Are you calling me stupid because I knew what it was and told others who weren't certain?

I'm pretty calm...
I don't know why I thought a smiley holding a sign that says "I'm with stupid" pointing up at my comment was implying that my comment was stupid.

On a side note, I love the interior of those cars. The style of the FD's has not aged at all. I love the gauge cluster.
