Thanks for my Saturday night entertainment Eric. Oh, and I echo your sentiment on dipsticks. Bring them back for automatic transmissions too.

That "Happend in an instant" is an understatement. Those balance shaft bolts untourquing themselves says that thing went from 6, 000 rpm to zero in about 2 feet at 70mph.

That water pump is as dry and gritty as the Sahara Desert.....probably was running with no coolant either......another cause of overheating.
