;D C'mon Tom, you ran 8V71 Detroits for years. You probably bent a rod or two in your day.

I was lucky in that regard.  Never had one bent rod.  I know guys who did.  Bad head gasket.  Water in the cylinder.  Tried to start the engine and voila, bent rod.

I did have an engine rebuilt a year earlier, totally destroyed when a screw rotted out of the raw water pump, and shot water directly into the intake.

By the time I became aware there was a problem, because the engine was surging, it was too late.

Every time a cylinder fired, it evaporated the water, and the remaining salt crystals scoured everything, including the injectors, the valves, and the valve seats.

Insurance covered all but the deductible, $500.
