OUCH!
Sorry to see the damage - do you guys have a theory on what happened? It looks like oiling (DUH) but did it spin a bearing first that then caused an oiling failure or did the pump fail causing sever bottom end trauma? -

Re: Boo Hoo .... Oh, The Pain !!!
We are continuing to work the forensics on this dead motor to determine the root cause of the oil system failure.
Kurt Urban is going to look over the carnage and see if he can find anything.

Looks bad. We had the same experience with a rod on an 871 blown 440 a couple of years ago.Jim & Cathy North Mankato, MN Long Haulers '04,07,08,09,10,11,12,13,14,18,21Short Haul '05,'15,'17,’19 WST '14,'15,'16,'17,’18Comment
