That is awesome. Next time we have a 15 liter Cummins throw a rod I will snap some pics when you have a piston and rod the size of a coffee can end up upside down the damage is awesome

Here's another awesome failure:




A GE CF-6 HPT failure on an AA 767. Happened to mechanics during a ground run at LAX.

heh, a 4400 horse diesel can come apart in spectacular fashion too.










Yep, that's a piston.

That sucks! I have had that happen back in the day, had a big block Ford I ran at Bandimere with nitrous and I dumped a couple.

That SUCKS!! Did the valves drop into the piston's and score the cylinders?? Is that the last pic?? I can't tell from the pics.
