Broke a first year “magnum” motor with n2o. (Talking modern era magnum) Ran ok but lost oil pressure. Put new bearings in it, still bad oil pressure. Looked at it with more detail. Found the block was cracked through the 3 center mains, from the caps to the cam bearings along the oiling holes.
“Not a carefully tuned” would be an understatement.


"use it 'till it breaks, replace as needed"
