Traitor to the brotherhood
Well,I tore into Peppermints old engines today(the 3 day chernobyle and the water drinking replacement V1.0).Things were NOT pretty in teh original turbo spec engine.There was NO broken rods!By the looks of it the engine spent alot of time way over the safe RPM range.....Found the #5 main bearing squished out the side,Scored real bad,and pitted.Also found one of the rods up front with some real pretty rainbow coloration of the metal.....and the part your have been waiting on.The Thrown rods......well,the rods didn't even crack.The start of the failure was a wrist pin pulled though the piston.while bouncing around the cap bolts broke on both rods really wrecking havoc on teh crank and bottom of the block......not to mention the rods.Here are the pictures(I hope).
