Duuuude that looks really bad! I thought my motor looked bad... well at least you have things up and running again. What exactly was it that caused that damage?

Here's an interesting example of a connecting rod breaking (or so I assume, piston going, whatever).
"M3s suck"
"your m3 is slow!"
"was that your engine?"
"my parents are gonna be so pissed"

I'm not running yet. My replacement motor is geting the block o-ringed. Overkill, I know, but may as well. The stock head gasket looks pretty strong anyhow.

Many factors could have contributed to the rod's demise. the fact that there was slight detonation in my car that I didn't have the J&S safegaurd set up to fend off. Also, I may have had the RRFPR set too low.
