Damn man that sucks. Any idea as to what caused it? Were you logging while it happened?

Not a clue ... prolly the ticking time bomb that it was. 7k shifts was sure to catch up with me sooner or later. I'm hoping to have the engine out before long, then I'll start the tear down.

I saw a honda 4cyl eat a plug one time, guy came in with a strange sound turns out the plug ground strap and electrode had fallen out and the end that connects to the wire had blown off, all the compression was blowing out through the hollowed spark plug. Put a new one in, cranked right up ran fine I couldnt believe how lucky the guy was.

02, I wish I was that lucky. Looking at the sylinder though, and the amount of rattling it was doing. No way. I'll know soon enough though. I'm a hand full of bolts away from pulling the motor.
