no explanation needed. the pics say everything. i got lucky and had minimal other damages. the stator and flywheel are wrecked because they were rubbing on each other. i think the crank was broke for a while (or at least bent). it also threw of my timing and bent the exhaust valves. intakes seem to be ok. there is no evidence of contact between the two on the piston or the intake valves.
i know i have seen a handful of broken hotrod cranks on the forums before. is the flywheel side the side that normally breaks? it would make more sense if the drive (clutch) side would break in my mind...
i will be purchasing a barker 4 mill crank this time. i should have bit the bullet and purchased the more expensive one to begin with... here are some pics of my new paper weight.
