A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Read about it on TB.COM...so I assume it was one of those guys. If I remember correctly it was girdled...and didn't hurt the internals. Can't remember what caused the failure tho.

Maybe it was the excessive thread sealant used on the turbo drain? :D

I've seen damage but not like that. :O  Wonder how that would actually happen unless there was a flaw in the block. :chin:

Only flaw is that he wasn't using ZDDP.
