    Default Snapped rod

    Yep, snapped a rod, destroyed the crank and cracked the sump.


    Not looking for help, just sayin.



    Just started this so any female jc members have ample space to console me.

    Still is a medical thread, we are just using car slang, but I think the OP meant the 'ECU' not the 'Rod'.
