I was like 'hey , ya know how ya always hear those tossed rod but still drove 100 & some odd miles stories from old timers?, well now you have one to tell'.
I had read some of that stuff over on SlantSix.Org :read2: about how high guys were revving /6s. That prompted the question "Has anyone ever grenaded one of these things and if so, how?" The most common was sticking the #5 out of bed. I came to the conclusion that oiling the next to the last main is a bit problematic. Still it's wild to run the engine with a hole in the block the size of a golf ball with no problems. If I were a betting man, I'd think that the engine would still be running if he had stuffed more oil in it.
