Pulled an @Autobahn today. Went out to Grattan, first session of the morning, just finished the no-passing lap, and started giving it throttle on the straight. Oil/coolant behind me, christmas tree dash, low coolant, etc. etc. Get pulled off and find this on the belly pan.
Definitely some piston, ring, wrist pin, and cast iron block material. Not sure what happened, didn't get a log because I didn't get over 70% pedal, obviously a mess of codes. Thankfully no one got caught on my fluids and they were able to get me off without too much more drainage. Bad day all around, at least one other motor blew and they ran out of the stuff to clean off the track after before noon.
Got home and the back of cyl3/4 looks.... breezy.
Looks like the head is mangled so that's an extra bummer. Gonna pull the oil pan tomorrow then make some calls on Monday. Big-time bummed tho.
