What Happens When Rods Let Go

[Hurricane]

well ive started to scrap cars out at my house, and ive had dis old 3K motor in a ke20 for some time that has blon up and ive only just not seen what happened:P i didnt blow it up so i can only guess what happened but the remanes, but it looks like it has had the shitter reved out of it, it didnt drop any valves or any thing only the bottom end what damaged, but looks like number 4 rod has let go, half of it smashin out the side of the block and breakin off the rod bolts, and the the end cap has come off and was floatin around in the block gettin smashed about, then number 3 rod has let go and was smakin about the blosk still on the crank, smashed the oil pump up, then she has still kept running till all the bearing had run dry:eek: but it didnt end there she has sstill be goin after that, well untill the bottom end of rod number 4 got smashed into the cam lockin it up and snaping it at the front pully by the looks? i havent pulled the whole motor down yet, will do tomorrow and see, but looks like the good old 3k held uup a good fight till the end:D ive got some pic and will have more tomorrow.

A friend of mine would class this as and electrical problem, namely the rod took out the electrics on the way out of the block!
