Thanks for the follow up strip and pics

.... what happened to your engine again btw? lol

No, that's oil and dirt from my hand.

And the rod journals were exposed to dirt during all this time, hence the rough aspect.

What happened!? Lol

Fatigue in the rod due to fuel hydrolock.

Rod split in three pieces.

Block gone.
