Destruction could have happened if the engine flooded a cylinder tsunami style, engine was cranked and fired, as the flooded cylinder began it's compression stroke the conrod buckled, piston head/crank damage may have occurred at this point also. As this mess of twisted metal was thrashed around in the engine a lot could have happened. The un balanced crank could have ripped apart bringing the other pistons with it or the fuel and oil could have caught fire in the sump. So total engine destuction is possible I believe however a simple bent conrod is more likely, the boys have been spinning yarns with ya cold front, nothing like a "it could have been THIS BAD!!! to cheer you up :D |
