When did your engine blow?
Be interesting to see at what RPM (peak tq, or peak hp) motors take a dump.

Had them blow at both cruising and WOT. Depends on the situation.
WOT - Tired and abused internals - Long story
Cruising - Bad fuel
On a side note, the drives went at peak torque or idle! LOL

Built 406 small block at 6500 pre-ignition timing took out a piston (#8), top ring chunks pushed into soft aluminum head. Ran it back to house at fast idle, beating and banging as I was on a lake without tow service one late afternoon during the week and NO ONE was on the water. About 2 miles away.

I had one go when the camshaft broke in half. Yup, the big end of the connecting rod came right up and broke it in half. At least I was able to keep the carb and intake.
