Bad luck Kerry. Very sad to see a death rattle like that. All of us who build engines have had at least one die a violent death. My last violent end was a 460 BBF that detonated at 7000rpm mid track. Not my engine but I built it. Felt awful about it. Had a rod bolt let go and the resultant mess included holes in both sides of the block. Not pretty.
