Good Picture! Just a very sad picture....Did the broken rod thing once myself, not an inexpensive repair.

91Callaway, WELCOME to the Callaway forum on the CAC!
Was the thrown rod the reason you were not at the Callaway Reunion this year at Corvettes@Carlisle?
hope all is well w/ your B2K these days... See ya! *89x2*

That hurts...
:eek As we've discussed the rods used in the original B2K conversions were not as strong as they should be. If anything is not right with the engine - overboost - detonation - etc. this can be the result.
I wish I knew what mine looked like when it did the same thing but I didn't own it then... luckily because I didn't foot the bill for the rebuild either!
We should meet up some time before the weather turns ugly. You live near my old stomping grounds... I lived in Shelton, CT before moving up to MA. My family is still in Newtown.
