Tod you may remember this. Back a few years ago there was a post going around about a company out west that sold a bottom end that had a rod bolt failure. I know the company's name but really don't want to drag them back in 4 or so years later..
My point is that the two areas that are easy overlooked that cause major damage is Rod Bolt failure and broken valve springs...
I swear I saw a assembler one time put a bottom end together and either the block or something wasn't notched or something. Each rotation was metal on metal ( knicking ) ..he said " Ahhh hell it will fix itself"....and the bad thing IT DID and run like a scalded dog in a round track car..LMAO..
