Clearly, that guy went 3001 miles without changing his oil.
Yeah, I'm game -- what really happened?

Looks like maybe an oil pump went out.

Anything can do that but I doubt it was a faulty crank.

I'm voting a lot of boost, a large shot of nitrous, a combination of both and mixed in with a bad couple of misfires.

Andy described that something similar to this would happen if I bolted a YSI to my stock 346.....

I have put 18#s more then once to my stock crank. The picture certainly makes me wonder what would do this to the crank...unless it was somehow a weak crank from the factory or reused crank that wasn't mag'd and inspected and had a problem.

Hmmm... this rain theory seems like it may hold water... no pun intended.
