Re: Bad one
Owie! That hurts looking at.. Looking at the rod, did it loose a valve or what happened?
Re: Bad one
Friend of mine did that on a Mazda 1.8 engine. The #1 rod sawed through both sides of the block as well as the main cap girdle, pickup tube, and oil pan. Engine was still running after it happened although it was a little rough
The interesting thing is, when he went to sell the remaining three rods and pistons, it turned out the other three were also bent. The chunk of rod still on the #1 journal would spin freely although it could not be removed because the nuts/bolt ends were too beat up.

Re: Bad one
Circle track engine. No power adders. Had head repaired on that cylinder, I think weld leaked. Hydraulic. Boom. Sucks either way
Re: Bad one
Nice main caps.
Shame about the block.
