Maybe we can share some stories about our misfortunes. (I've had a couple.)

Hi Rick,
That would have been a big bang!
I have dealt with a good number of destroyed engines in my time. Most numerous was the Jaguar 4.2 engines in the CVR armoured vehicles. Many is the time I have seen a big part of the lower crankcase missing as a rod had departed. I rebuilt a few large AEC diesels where this happened and the blocks were rewelded and linered after a rod had broken.
cheers Richard
