I think I have a motor problem.

[Schnot]

Slung a rod or two on out 2000 550 work truck. Just figured i'd share the awesomeness of a holey engine block with the rest of you.

[Schnot]

The hole appeared where the oil pan and block meet on both sides. I had to pick up the connecting rods off of the interstate. The hole was big enough on either side to easily put my fist into. Let the good times roll

So, what made'er blow?

[azkcr]

My condolences go to the old p-stroke.
Though it will never see another mile, it will be remembered.

[chrispaine]

any idea of what happened?

[azkcr]

It looks like the connecting rod snapped, and the remaining piece that was still on the crank shaft punched a hole in the block..
That's usually what happens at least.
