Rod Throwing 101

[Danny3737]

Saw this at my buddy’s shop. Not sure what year Escalade it is, but he said it has the 6.0. If you look closely you can see one of the rods coming through the engine block. Pretty nasty. He said there was zero oil left in the pan

I have seen rods thru the oil pan and thru the block and it was always crazy looking to imagine what took place when it all happened.

If you're gonna go--GO BIG!! Years ago I saw a late 70's Vette throw a rod--was sticking out of the driver's side--bisch was still running, and moving lol! Loud as hell too. Put a truck motor in it after that.
