 I saw this page today and found it interesting. I see quite a few examples of this at work.  fastener failures but never having had an internal fastener failure inside an engine myself, I am curious as to what you have seen with rod bolts and such. Or is the carnage usually too great to really tell?  | ||

 Carnage was too great for me to tell. Either I spun a main, or the rod bolt failed. Crank was broken in 3 pieces, with 1 rod bolt's nut off the cap. And this was in a 5800 rpm 12 second Olds. It is also why I believe every dedicated bracket car should have a diaper.

 that is kind of what I thought I might hear. So far only a spun rob bearing and lifter wheel for me.  | |||

 Spun bearings will show heat! So its tuff to miss these! No black and purple colored parts anywhere would indicate a catastrophic parts failure first then pow!  | |||
