Yea, im guessing that the lash cap jamming the valve into the piston helped the bearing failure and then the rod to break...


I thought the flying lash cap was on #1 and #3 was the one that broke? I guess the cap could have found its way over to #3, but without any marks to support it, that is unlikely. But it could have jammed #1 causing the mark on that piston.
