)
I just had this motor rebuilt 10T mile's ago (IMG:

) A few rod's went through the Canton pan! I will post some pic's later, but im sure all of you have seen hole's before!
Im just in a daze still.........I expected something to happen(do this) just not the motor!
I WAS still the fastest guy on the track, turning a 1:37.5 a lap before she went!

sorry you lost your engine.
I don't think I've seen more than 1 rod go through an oil pan at one time before. Have any idea what the failure mode was yet?
