:roll:  Maybe it has been done to death but a few searches didn't indicate that so I thought some would  have  pic's to share.  This was my first 250 (855 ci cummins) before I put in a re-man. Disaster struck when the rod let go near the wrist pin, destroyed the motor, starter and bellhousing. Had a 14 yard load of gravel on going 55, and the cylinder in question was about 12" from my feet.
 

To get through to the starter it had to bust the cam, end is sticking out.
The block was almost cut through on the other side, the rod was stuck there.


That was 10 years ago, went to the woods to check it out recently and the proverbial sword is still in the stone. The hardship caused is long gone so now I can enjoy the photos.

I'll have to get pics next time I'm at the summer place in NY.
I have a 67 GS 400 with a rod sticking out through the back and side of the oil pan.
OUCH!
