Yea, Danny said this just simply looks like the rods let go on the power stroke, basically classic too much power/torque. He said he saw not signs of detonation and yea the bottom half of the rod can still spin on the crank

It changes it some yes...my head will be getting DB's machinist's race porting when he is in there for putting the oversized valves in and assembling my head. My head should flow rather well after all is said and done Especially with the GSC S2's.

Otherwise the turbo being fine and the being fine are just bonus's. I was planning on the head being bad for sure, which is 1000 for the core roughly, so i will use that money for supplying other parts of the build that i added in like the new turbo.
