too bad about the engine, i would say the fancy parking maneuver did you in.
better luck on the next build. maybe find something available in the for sale section.
i would guess the bolts broke after the implosion, not the cause. maybe bent or twisted a rod initially.

Actually it all happened soooo fassstttt no time to crap pants,no adrenaline rush, no nothing, just act and re-act to what's happening.....Now afterwards in the paddock, I sat down and smoked a couple of cigarettes back to back and had a coke and thought "man, what a wild ride", hope I don't do that again anytime soon!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at all the damaged parts and pieces on the work bench trying to figure out what happened, well, it's kinda like the chicken and the egg thing!!!!!!!!
In the end, it's pretty much all junk,cept for maybe the crank, the top end is o-k.... I'll get a new rotating assy., have a block already and build another motor and go at it again.....
Just wish I had had my in-car video camera in the car and on at the time!!!!!!!!!!
Would have made great video to one day show the grandkids when I do have some.....
