You guy's have some bad ass setup's! Hopefully my boat won't ride so wet this season. 76 bonneville sorry to hear about your engine, I love your boat. In your other thread it says that the block failed. Have you thought about it snatched the rod, ran until it broke the rod, then when the crankshaft hit the rod it sent the piston up and sideways breaking the block? I feel if the block broke it would have been on the thrust side, it sees the most load. But since it's the pin side and the fact that the rod/journal and 1 next to it are blue it ran for little while with a snatched rod. I know it could have had a crack it leaking water and then hydrauliced but just some thoughts. Sorry to hyjack a bad ass thread about airing shit out!
