I asked him yesterday about it. I asked if it was blowing out the oil fill neck and if it was blowing out the pcv re-route “road tube” and he also said no. When we were at Mark’s and it had just happened we also checked this and no abnormal blowby.
buddy's LMM is hurt

Thanks. I was convinced of a bent rod, but his compression test told me that I was wrong.We can check for a broken crank next. I dismissed that early on, but maybe foolishly so. Thanks
Update - it is indeed a shortened rod. We tore the engine down tonight. Now the plan to build it back stronger
FWIW - the rest of the engine looked new for 150k on the clock.

Makes sense, crazy how quick it did it too! Nozzle walking loose is never a good thing at all! At least it is fixable! It was running awesome right before that injector issue.
Amen. What’s really amazing is how very slight the damage is. She’s one tough girl.
Do you think the injector cracked and under pressure loosened the nozzle? We installed them just like I did mine - thread sealer and torque wrench. Seems crazy that one would loosen up on its own.
I think Chris is ordering fingers pistons this week. His CC was hacked and it set him back a few days.

Unfortunately have seen it happen a few times before so it is hard to say. If it isn't one thing it is another!:hug:
