just one, forgot to take more photos when i pulled it out. 
piston put a 20 thou indent in the combustion chamber! cam was in about 7 pieces and a pushrod got cut clean in half. i am still finding pieces of solid lifters around the shed 7 months after it blew up hehe.

Found some memories during todays shed cleanup.
A series of unfortunate events.Sequence fairly clear.
Solid lifter loses fragment (268 @ 50thou with about .600 lift cam).
Fragment visits oil pump.
Pump jams/sticks briefly.
Oil pump drive shears.
Block is ventilated.
Will add pics of block, rods and other fragments if/when I get that far in to the shed .

I still have the remains of a rod that vented a block in late 1986. I must find it one day.

Oil pump drive shaft installed by a spastic. Blowup in the making. I defeated their nefarious plan by finding it during a preventative checkup. Wonder what they whacked it with to bend it in.
