I can't even imagine the forces required to cause this...

I had a Bultaco 250cc Pursang in my old MX days do that to a rod. Pretty sure it didn't have that kind of power. ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Yep, the cross head.

That's quite a smooth bend, pretty spectacular.
I suspect the rod bearing on the crank failed, seizing to the crank journal, and the other 5 or 7 or ? cylinders were more than happy to continue turning the crank to bend that rod.

I can. That's hot.

That reminds me of that monstrosity of a low speed diesel that is stable down to 7 RPM.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Just the fact that it didn't break is mind blowing.
