My air cooled crank

[DaveH]

More "fail" pics. I think we figured out what happened.... it looks like the big end rod bearing on #3 spun, then finally siezed on the crank and tore the wrist pin out of the piston. After that more carnage ensued.

Oil pan full of goodies:

Oil pickup tube:

Windage tray:

Burned up #3 journal and busted block:

some good pistons/rods and busted upper oil pan:

Oh man! Thats some ultimate carnage. So what are the build plans for this winter then?

Missing in action are the wrist pin and the #3 rod cap. They must be laying on the track somewhere.

Thats crazy stuff.

Is that concrete in your coolant passages?
