Definately a rod. Won't be much left of that engine you can use. Crank, rod, piston, head, cases, maybe even cams will be trashed.

I can't imagine much else thats going to cause damage dead centre like that.

Your engine will still turn once the valves are sufficiently bent if the cam chain fails.

Oooh. Both sides. Good skills.

It's the Shervin lightening mod. He got bored of cutting and drilling holes in the frame, now he's turned his attention on the engine block. He really likes Kwaks Wink
