Here's my dilemma. Cruising down the expressway one day cruise set on 70 miles per hour. My engine starts skipping built motor custom twins as in my signature. And acted as if it may have popped a piston or I lost an injector oil pressure is perfect truck runs fine just skipped. So I park it after I had it towed home about 20 miles and finally get around to pulling the motor just to refresh it make sure it looks good everything looks perfect. Get to the lower oil pan pull it off huge chunk of Steel in the bottom. I said okay not good pull upper panf the connecting rod at the big end was torqued to the crankshaft. The Piston was just sitting in the hole with the small end of the rod still attached. This didn't happen under power truck may have had 3500 miles on the new engine. It happened with the cruise control set at 70 miles per hour no damage to the crank all the bearings could be reused. The connecting rod did bust 2Pistons but one rod 2 Pistons would half-ass fix it but I'm not doing that it busted the skirt off one of the cylinders which good we've got buffed out but I'm not risking it. sent rods back to Crower cam cams in California been there for 2 weeks without a word what do you guys think my chances are for them paying for this s*** because it ain't no Builder error here. Lol. jk. That was a speech-to-text so disregard any of the poor punctuation I'm driving thanks
