After looking through the hole in the block it looks like the #2 rod broke right below the wrist pin, and is still strait and bolted to the crank.......

Keep the pix coming!
You may have to hire a photographer so you don't get your camera dirty!

After analyzing the rod, it appears it had cracked, and kept cracking until the last 1/8 inch , then broke completely. You can see it in the piston pic's.


hmmm...........

You're right about the spray pattern.

Again, if you need any parts, I have quite a few (front cover, oil pan, pickup, etc.)
