stock 2000 Lightning, 15 psi on a 40* night, unknowingly with a freshly-busted pcv line going to the turkey pan.
subsequent built motor in said 2000 Lightning... cracked cast iron valve guide that comes stock in a Trick Flow Track Heat head, seizing up my intake valve. Intake valve relocated to exhaust seat. Lesson learned, should have upgraded to the bronze valve guides for such a motor.

That's wicked. Looks like pisto,s and connecting rods are common failures.
3 months into owning a Vintage Porsche.
So I parted it out and bought a terminator that has been perpetually ****ing broke.

my 4.6 aluminator lost oil pressure, tore up the heads. In the grand scheme of things it could have been worse. I lost the heads, crank had to have a decent amount of work done to it, had to redo the line bore but everything else was able to be saved
most of my really torn up/wrecked stuff is ATV related

One day at the track......
A classic from a decade ago...
Truck carnage-gears go "plastic"
damn, that deal with the loose belt is pretty impressive in all the wrong ways
Lots of ouch in here!
Geez

Man... I feel for ya'll. A few guys in here really got shafted.
Mine is nothing compared to some of these but still necessitated a full rebuild.
They were forged ross pistons that were in the motor for probably 10 years and 35k miles. 7 of the 8 pistons had cracks forming in the same place this let go.
I was able to reused the crank, rods, block and could have reused the heads but I swapped in c heads while it was out.

Interesting, I picked up a 306 short block w/ cast pistons for $150 many years ago, and when I had the machine shop checking P-to-V clearances with my cam, one of the skirts fell off in that same place. They went back and checked the other pistons, and found 5 more with hairline fractures in the same place. That's the whole reason I went with forged pistons on reassembly.Mine is nothing compared to some of these but still necessitated a full rebuild.

Little methanol mishap from a few years ago!

What happened?? Were you tuned for meth?
Yes I was. Never able to 100% confirm it but I suspect that I had a momentary hiccup with the pump or some other delivery issue, which caused an instant lean/heat situation.
